Ben Davies' Rangers situation explained as Giovanni van Bronckhorst makes 'ready to play' call

Giovanni van Bronckhorst has opened up on Ben Davies' situation as he explained why the summer signing from Liverpool didn't start against Napoli.

Rangers shelled out a big fee to bring in the one-time Celtic target this summer but has been reduced to just three appearances for the club since his arrival. He was named on the bench last night for the defeat to the Serie A side but when James Sands was given his marching orders, the Dutchman turned to youngster Leon King over the stopper.

Davies has struggled with injury since his move to Scotland and has only returned to training. This was one of the main reasons why the 18-year-old was selected as he replaced Ryan Jack. King was also called upon at half-time against Ajax in the opening Champions League game with his boss hailing his performance in Amsterdam.
