Rangers 1 – 2 Tottenham
Harry Kane scored a quickfire second-half double to seal a 2-1 comeback pre-season win for Tottenham over Rangers at Ibrox.
The England captain struck twice in six minutes to make it five goals in three pre-season matches as the Spurs striker looks in great form ahead of the new season.
Spurs needed Kane’s rescue act after Antonio Colak gave Rangers the lead in the 24th minute, as the Croatian scored his first goal since joining the club earlier this month from Greek side PAOK.
But five minutes into the second half, Antonio Conte’s side were level thanks to a fabulous goal from Kane. The 28-year-old squared up Rangers defender Connor Goldson inside the box, shifted the ball onto his right foot and then unleashed a powerful curling effort past Allan McGregor.

In the 56th minute, Kane combined with Heung-Min Son to volley past McGregor and ensure Spurs remain unbeaten this summer.
Rangers substitute James Sands missed the home side’s best chance to equalise late on as he headed straight at ex-Celtic goalkeeper Fraser Forster, who was booed by the home crowd on his Spurs debut as he replaced Hugo Lloris in the second half.
It is Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s side’s only defeat of pre-season as they now prepare for next Saturday’s Scottish Premiership opener at Livingston, live on Sky Sports.
