It is an action packed night of Champions League action this evening and at Ibrox the wait is almost over. It has been a long 12 years since Ibrox hosted a group stage game in world football's most prestigious club competition.

And the stage is set for a cracker. Napoli are the visitors to the south side of Glasgow and the Italians will be full to the brim with confidence after defeating last year's finalists Liverpool 4-1 in their Group A opener last week before a league win over Spezia at the weekend which means Luciano Spalletti's top the Serie A table.

What's more, the in form side boast an unbeaten record so far this term. Rangers, on the other hand, will be keen to bounce back after some disappointing results and performances of late.

Giovanni van Bronckhorst failed to make a mark in his homeland, with his side 4-0 losers at the hands of Ajax last week. And who can forget the 4-0 thrashing at Celtic Park before that.
