Napoli boss Luciano Spalletti admits his side’s Champions League glamour group has got him buzzing like a kid at Christmas.

But he’s not expecting a repeat of the gifts Rangers dished out to Celtic and Ajax as he warned his players to beware an Ibrox backlash.

Spalletti - whose side stunned Liverpool last week and sit top of Serie A - said: "It is a wee bit like Christmas Eve, that is how happy I am to be playing in all these different games. "As if I am being rewarded with all these presents for my good behaviour.

It is sentimental for football to have a group with so many great, historical teams in it. That doesn’t always happen in this tournament so the chance to go and play in all of these great stadiums is something that I am really looking forward to.” But the Italian is concerned Rangers will not be the pushovers they were in their Old Firm and Amsterdam pastings with their ferocious home support behind them.
