Rangers manager Mark Warburton was delighted with his side's performance in a 4-3 win over a Tottenham XI in a behind-closed-doors friendly at Hotspur Way on Wednesday.
Warburton and his players were given the hospitality of Spurs' state-of-the-art training facility near Enfield as they prepare for next Saturday's Scottish Cup final against Hibernian, live on Sky Sports 1HD.
The Spurs side was mainly made up of youth players and returning loanees, but Warburton insists they provided a tough test in good conditions.
First-half goals from Dean Shiels and James Tavernier put the visitors 2-0 up at the interval before Spurs hit back after the break, but Martyn Waghorn and Nicky Clark sealed victory for the Gers.
Warburton told www.rangers.co.uk: "Spurs were excellent hosts for us and their hospitality was superb. The playing surface for the match was outstanding and it was a really good test for us.
"We were really good in the first half and I was delighted with our intensity and tempo. We scored a couple and looked in good shape.
"In the second half, Spurs responded to our first half and posed us a different challenge, but I thought it was really beneficial for all the players and staff, and I am so thankful to Spurs for their warmth of welcome.
"They were a really technically gifted team, as all the Spurs teams are. It was a really good test for us and I am delighted with it."
Warburton was especially pleased with another successful run-out for top-scorer Waghorn, who recently returned from injury, but admits the break between the final game of the season and the cup final is a learning curve for the club.
"Martyn did really well but so did all of the boys that played today. We got good pitch time, and that was really, really pleasing for us," Warburton said.
"From my point of view it's about how we fill in these three weeks, and we have to learn from it given we have a winter break coming up next season.
"We have to look at how best we use the time and what we can do. In general, though, I am really, really pleased with the way in which our players have responded this time.
"We have to look at it, though - Hibs have a very active game schedule - so we have to see what way best prepares our players - what's right, what's wrong and what best poses them a challenge."
