Rangers face a crucial Champions League clash as Serie A giants Napoli head to Glasgow for a Group A showdown at Ibrox.
Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s side suffered a 4-0 defeat away at Eredivisie champions Ajax in their group stage opener as Napoli hammered Liverpool 4-1 in Naples.
Both sides have been disrupted in their preparations as the fixture was delayed by 24 hours, as part of the UK’s state of national mourning following the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
Rangers will be pushing to revive their hopes of a knockout spot, while Napoli are aiming to continue their impressive form in 2022/23.
The Sporting News is following the match live and providing live score updates, commentary from Ibrox.
