Ally McCoist and fellow talkSPORT pundit Gabby Agbonlahor believe Rangers owe a performance against Napoli and can use the Ibrox fan factor to their advantage.
Giovanni van Bronckhorst's men are hurting following back-to-back four goal defeats to Old Firm rivals Celtic and Ajax in their Champions League opener in Amsterdam last week. The two big defeats will have the Light Blues faithful demanding a big performance under the lights at Ibrox later tonight with the punditry duo backing the fans to bring a red-hot atmosphere.
Rangers hero McCoist has admitted he is feeling the nerves ahead of welcoming the Serie A high-flyers to Govan but Agbonlahor is confident of three points heading to the home side as he backed them to pick up a big win. Napoli are sitting top of Italy's top league with an unbeaten league record to date while they hammered Liverpool on their own patch in the group stage opener.

Speaking on the talkSPORT breakfast show, McCoist said: "(I'm feeling) nervy, to be brutally honest with you.
"You look at the two performances - Rangers last week in Amsterdam, you look at Napoli against Liverpool at home.
"Miles apart, just miles apart. Rangers have to defend better, have a better attitude to play. The home form in Europe, albeit in a different tournament, has been fantastic and Rangers have lifted their performances particularly against Dortmund and RB Leipzig, but they're going to need that and then some."
Agbonlahor added: "The Rangers crowd will be demanding tonight a performance after the Celtic game where they showed no fight, it was an embarrassing performance, and the last Champions League game against Ajax, they didn't give a fight.
"They'll bring that atmosphere - I back Rangers to win the game. They owe their fans."
McCoist then replied: "They certainly do. I think the atmosphere at the stadium will be incredible.
"But at the same time, it's so important that the team starts fast, not go crazy, but they've got to go it disciplined and they will, I don't have any doubt."
