Tottenham Hotspur’s Europa League clash against Rangers at Ibrox on Thursday (12 December) could be a pivotal moment for Ange Postecoglou’s tenure, according to West Ham favourite Frank McAvennie.
The former Celtic boss has faced mounting pressure in North London following Spurs’ dramatic 4-3 loss to Chelsea on Sunday (8 December). McAvennie, speaking to The Sun (11 December), suggested that failure to secure a win against Rangers might push Tottenham fans to the edge.
“Spurs have been magnificent in 20-minute spells – then lost the games. The players have let him down. They have been guilty of not concentrating for 90 minutes and leaking goals,” McAvennie said.
He added, “But Ange will relish going back to Ibrox for a big game – and one he’ll need to win. I can’t see the Tottenham fans having it if they don’t beat Rangers.”
As Postecoglou prepares to face a familiar foe from his time at Celtic, all eyes will be on the Aussie manager to deliver a performance that steadies the ship and keeps the Spurs faithful onside.”
McAvennie didn’t hold back on his personal feelings towards Spurs, adding, “Being a West Ham man myself, I couldn’t care less about Tottenham.”
His blunt remark underscores the fierce rivalry between the clubs, but it also highlights the growing scrutiny on Postecoglou as he navigates a challenging period at Tottenham. The Aussie manager, who enjoyed immense success at Celtic, now faces a crucial test at Ibrox, where a win could silence critics—or a loss could amplify them.

Ange Postecoglou’s start to life at Tottenham Hotspur has been anything but smooth sailing, with the former Celtic boss experiencing both highs and lows in his first 15 games.
Currently sitting in 11th place, Spurs have struggled to find consistency under the 59-year-old, with their latest disappointment coming in a 4-3 loss to Chelsea, despite being 2-0 ahead. West Ham favourite Frank McAvennie has now weighed in, suggesting Postecoglou could face serious pressure if his side fails to deliver in their upcoming Europa League clash against Rangers at Ibrox on Thursday (12 December).
McAvennie, speaking to The Sun (11 December), didn’t mince words: “Spurs have been magnificent in 20-minute spells – then lost the games. The players have let him down. They have been guilty of not concentrating for 90 minutes and leaking goals.”
He continued, “But Ange will relish going back to Ibrox for a big game – and one he’ll need to win. I can’t see the Tottenham fans having it if they don’t beat Rangers.”
The West Ham legend made his personal feelings clear, adding, “Being a West Ham man myself, I couldn’t care less about Tottenham.”
With Postecoglou returning to familiar territory at Ibrox, where he faced Rangers numerous times during his Celtic tenure, the stakes couldn’t be higher. A positive result might provide a much-needed boost for Spurs, but anything less could intensify the mounting pressure on Postecoglou and his players.

Ange Postecoglou’s turbulent start at Tottenham Hotspur has taken another hit after a disappointing run of form, raising questions about his future among the North London fanbase. Despite an emphatic 4-0 win over Manchester City in November, Spurs have since struggled, with two draws and a defeat culminating in a frustrating 4-3 loss to Chelsea on Sunday (8 December).
The pressure on Postecoglou has grown, particularly after a loss to Bournemouth sparked frustration among fans, despite the positive impact the 59-year-old has had since taking charge. Spurs now face a critical Europa League clash against Rangers at Ibrox on Thursday (12 December), a match West Ham favourite Frank McAvennie believes could define Postecoglou’s relationship with the fanbase.
“Spurs have been magnificent in 20-minute spells – then lost the games. The players have let him down. They have been guilty of not concentrating for 90 minutes and leaking goals,” McAvennie told The Sun (11 December). “But Ange will relish going back to Ibrox for a big game – and one he’ll need to win. I can’t see the Tottenham fans having it if they don’t beat Rangers.”
McAvennie didn’t hold back his disdain for Spurs, adding, “Being a West Ham man myself, I couldn’t care less about Tottenham.”
Interestingly, frustrations aren’t limited to North London. On the east side of the capital, West Ham fans are also voicing their concerns about Spanish manager Xabi Alonso, despite a much-needed 2-1 win over Wolves on Monday (9 December).
As both managers navigate challenging periods, the pressure is mounting on Postecoglou to prove he can turn Spurs’ season around, starting with a result at Ibrox.

Ange Postecoglou’s rocky start to life at Tottenham Hotspur has placed him under mounting pressure, with frustrations among the North London fanbase nearing a breaking point. Despite glimpses of brilliance, including a stunning 4-0 victory over Manchester City in November, Spurs’ form has nosedived, culminating in a disappointing run of two draws and a defeat, including a crushing 4-3 loss to Chelsea.
West Ham legend Frank McAvennie believes Postecoglou’s future could hinge on the outcome of Tottenham’s crucial Europa League showdown against Rangers at Ibrox on Thursday (12 December). Speaking to The Sun (11 December), McAvennie said: “Spurs have been magnificent in 20-minute spells – then lost the games. The players have let him down. They have been guilty of not concentrating for 90 minutes and leaking goals.
“But Ange will relish going back to Ibrox for a big game – and one he’ll need to win. I can’t see the Tottenham fans having it if they don’t beat Rangers.”
The former Celtic boss, who enjoyed dominance over Rangers during his time in Glasgow, now faces an equally challenging task to win over the Spurs faithful. After a loss to Bournemouth last month, frustrations among fans boiled over, despite the positive progress Postecoglou initially made at the club.
McAvennie, never one to shy away from his allegiances, added: “Being a West Ham man myself, I couldn’t care less about Tottenham.”
However, it’s not just Postecoglou feeling the heat. Over at the London Stadium, West Ham fans are also beginning to turn on Spanish manager Xabi Alonso. While the Irons secured a 2-1 victory over Wolves on Monday (9 December), the style of play and inconsistent results remain unchanged, leaving supporters questioning the long-term direction under Alonso.
The tension among both sets of fans is palpable, with patience wearing thin. As McAvennie points out, “Supporters will only accept poor performances for so long.” With the pressure mounting, both Postecoglou and Alonso could soon find themselves at the mercy of their respective clubs’ boards if results don’t improve quickly.
