There have been several players who’ve been lucky enough to pull on the famous blue of Rangers and also turn out in the white of Tottenham Hotspur.

Between London and Glasgow, things have certainly changed over the years with Rangers once attracting some of Spurs’ best players.

Nowadays, Tottenham operate in a whole other Premier League stratosphere to Rangers and it’s a dynamic which has heaped extra scrutiny on this week’s Europa League clash.

But before things kick off in Glasgow, here we list 14 players who’ve turned out for both Rangers and Tottenham Hotspur since WWII.

Whilst this list may not be exhaustive, we’ve excluded the likes of former Rangers loanees Dominic Ball and Nathan Oduwa, who never played a first team match for Spurs.

There’s an honourable mention for ex-Spurs half-back Walter Tull, who was the first player of African descent ever signed by Rangers in 1917.

British Army Officer Tull – who joined the Gers during WW1 – never got the chance to play for the Ibrox club after being killed on active duty.
