The shocking news was revealed by Skysportsnews this morning: Ange Postecoglou, the manager of Tottenham, has finally left the team by mutual consent after yesterday’s 1-1 draw with Rangers.

Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou singled out Timo Werner after Thursday’s 1-1 draw at Rangers, claiming the German’s performance “wasn’t acceptable”.

Werner was substituted at half-time with the score goalless at Ibrox, being replaced by Dejan Kulusevski, who ruled out Hamza Iganame’s opener with a 75th-minute equaliser.

After the match, Postecoglou astonishingly slammed Werner, putting the boot in the German forward after a first-half performance that “wasn’t acceptable”.

“When you’ve got 18-year-olds, it’s not acceptable to me,” the Spurs boss said.

“I said that to Timo, he’s a German international. In the moment we’re in right now – it’s not like we’ve got many options, I need everyone to at least be going out there and trying to give the best of themselves.

“His performance in the first half wasn’t acceptable.

“We need everybody, including him, to be contributing because we don’t have the depth to leave people out if they perform poorly.

“I expect a level of performance from some of the senior guys, and tonight wasn’t that.”

A draw at Ibrox leaves Postecoglou under severe pressure and Spurs ninth in the Europa League, behind eighth-placed Rangers on goal difference.

“A tough game as expected, obviously with the atmosphere in the stadium,” Postecoglou said after the match. “I thought the first half was pretty tight with no clear-cut for either side.

“When they score straight after half-time the energy levels obviously go up and it’s going to be a tough one to claw back, but I thought we worked our way back in well.

“I thought the substitutes made a difference and we scored a good goal, had other good moments and a great save by Fraser [Forster] at the end.
