Rangers started their preparations for the 2022-23 campaign with a 2-1 victory over Blackpool on July 16 before running out 3-1 winners over West Ham in their second friendly of the summer on Tuesday.
Tom Lawrence, Ryan Kent and Rabbi Matondo were on the scoresheet against the Hammers, and the Gers will now be looking to make it a Premier League double with a victory over Antonio Conte’s side.
This match will mark the end of the team’s preparations for the new campaign, as they will begin their Scottish Premiership season away to Livingston on July 30.
Rangers have been busy this summer in terms of signings, bringing in Ben Davies, Matondo, Antonio Colak, Lawrence, John Souttar and Malik Tillman.
Calvin Bassey has been the team’s leading departure, moving to Ajax for a fee in excess of £20m, and Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s side will again look to battle Celtic for the Scottish Premiership title next season, with the Hoops finishing four points clear at the summit last term.
Tottenham, meanwhile, have played two pre-season fixtures this summer, recording a 6-3 victory over a K-League XI on July 13 before drawing 1-1 with Sevilla three days later.
Spurs will now continue their preparations for the new campaign with a friendly at Ibrox, while their final pre-season match will be against Italian giants Roma on July 30.

Relatively speaking, Conte’s side will not play too much football ahead of the new Premier League season, and it remains to be seen whether they will hit the ground running, with the capital outfit facing Southampton in their campaign opener on August 6.
Tottenham, who finished fourth in the Premier League table last season, have been busy during the summer market, bringing in Richarlison, Yves Bissouma, Djed Spence, Ivan Perisic and Fraser Forster, while Clement Lenglet has arrived on a season-long loan from Barcelona.
Spurs will also crucially keep hold of both Harry Kane and Son Heung-min this summer, and Conte’s team will believe that they are capable of moving closer to the likes of Manchester City and Liverpool, with the duo again likely to battle for the Premier League title.
