Tottenham cause fury with huddle against Rangers but this isn't a Celtic thing and Ange is innocent

It was all kicking off at Ibrox and this was before a ball was kicked at anger.

A 'Make Rangers Great Again' banner riffing on Donald Trump's ultimate slogan was only the half of it, there was pantomime boos for Spurs players as the referee called both teams in for kick-off and the men from North London were locked in a huddle – a move made famous by the Ibrox side's eternal rivals Celtic.

And some irate punters in the stand will pin the pre-match power move on the man in the opposite dugout. But Ange Postecoglou had nothing to do with the pre-match action – his players came up with it themselves before his first competitive game against Brentford back in August 2023. James Maddison explained: “Sonny texted me last night and said he had an idea that he wanted to do the huddle in front of our fans to make them feel part of it, he did a team talk over there and it really got them going. I’m sure they’ll appreciate that, just how much we appreciate them coming down and supporting us to the end. That’s what we’re going to need. We’re all in it together.”
