It has been a long time since Ibrox saw Champions League football, but this evening was not the return Rangers would have been hoping for.

Napoli defeated Gio van Bronckhorst 's side by three clear goals to make it a third heavy loses on the bounce for the men in Light Blue.

The scoreline means that Rangers have conceded 11 goals in their last three matches, failing to score any themselves. The Serie A side arrived in Govan full of confidence, boasting a perfect start to the season both domestically and in Europe after a 4-1 thrashing of Liverpool in Naples last week.

But with a change in the squad and a point to prove, Rangers were looking to put a stop to the Italian outfit's run. Things seemed to be going to plan in the first half, with chances for both sides.
