Rangers great Ally McCoist has questioned the tactical approach of Tottenham boss Antonio Conte.

McCoist was reacting to Spurs' 0-0 draw at Champions League opponents Eintracht Frankfurt last night.

Speaking on BT Sport, McCoist said: "You look at a team like Spurs obviously coming off a really poor performance, poor result in the weekend in the derby game, you're looking for a reaction.

"I think Spurs' strengths are in the forward area of the park, I don't think anyone can argue with that. I think defensively there's question marks. I thought the game they came back against Chelsea they were a little bit more solid, is this the turning point? But I don't think so.

"The argument I think Spurs fans can make, is Conte playing to his team's strengths? I'm not sure. He's clearly defensively minded in the way he sets up his team and you have to say he's very good at it. Spurs have only lost one league game this year, that's the North London derby.

"However, if I'm a Kulusevski or a Harry Kane or Son and I'm in that Spurs team, I'm actually probably questioning the way we're playing."
