Ange Postecoglou admits he gave Pedro Porro some constructive feedback on the pitch following Tottenham's draw at Rangers on Thursday night.

Spurs battled back at Ibrox to earn a point in the Europa League with a Dejan Kulusevski goal cancelling out Hamza Igamane's strike just after the break. However, the visitors faced a couple of nervy moments late on with goalkeeper Fraser Forster called into action with a last gasp save from Cyriel Dessers.

There was another moment when Porro put Forster in trouble with a volley back at the goalkeeper in a tough spot and the 36-year-old stopper could only slice the ball sideways under pressure from the unnecessary pass. That is what it turns out Postecoglou was speaking to the right-back about after the final whistle.

"Just feedback. He’s played a volley back to Fraser in the 92nd-minute of the game. Fraser was unbelievable last night, and you are putting a teammate under pressure. It’s about the context of what we are doing right now," said the Australian.

"I spoke at the weekend about individual moments, desperations, giving away penalties in a big game when we were playing really well. That you are allowing the opposition [in]. That was another moment. It is about again feedback to say, look, in this moment, we have got to make better decisions, we have to be really calm and clear headed, because again we have done so well to get back into a difficult tie. We are in a good position – why would you put that in jeopardy. That’s my role, to give the players feedback."

Rangers won many of the physical battles against Tottenham on the night and Postecoglou was asked whether he has enough fighters in his squad, both in all and available right now to him.

"All we've got is who is available, that's the reality of how it is, and yes. We still had elements of that even last night," he said. "Anybody who was at the stadium could see 'this is going to be hard'. There was a moment in there where you go 'have we got it in us to get something out of this game?' and we did.

"So it does exist. I'm not talking about going out every week and laying into tackles, it's about playing our football and having belief and conviction. The important thing for me is to take away any cloud about what's required at this moment. It's not about whether you are feeling well or feeling confident. There's no time for that right now.

"It's an opportunity to get out and play and whether it's 90 minutes or one minute, I'm going to put in a shift. Even if I have the worst game I've had in my life, I'm not going to stop trying to make sure we get though this period."

Is it frustrating for the 59-year-old manager to have to tell his players, some of them pretty experienced, what is needed from them when they're up against it?

"Not necessarily. It is an extraordinary situation we are in - it is," he said. "Where we are squad-wise with the injuries we have and what we ask our players to do, these are extraordinary circumstances. So it's more of a reminder to the players, it's not that I don't believe that they don't understand.

"In a game like last night you separate your own sense of self just to go out and contribute. Give your best version of yourself to overcome the situation we are in."
