Confident Chris Sutton reckons Rangers will struggle at the back against Ajax as he backed the Dutch champions to see off a side "still shaking" after defeat to Celtic.

Gio van Bronckhorst 's side endured nightmare preparation for their first Champions League group stage game in 12 years with Ange Postecoglou's men running out convincing 4-0 winners on Saturday to move five points clear at the Scottish Premiership summit.

While Ajax boss Alfred Schreuder has insisted the derby drubbing will be a non-factor at the Johan Cruyff Arena, Sutton believes there are major defensive issues that can be exploited.

Sutton admits the loss of big name Ajax players including summer Manchester United recruits Lisandro Martinez and Antony could see them drop in quality this term, but reckons they will have enough to see off Rangers.
