Danny Murphy salutes Rangers God Save The King plan as proud pundit rips UEFA and lauds Ibrox punters

Former Liverpool star Danny Murphy has lavished praise on Rangers over their plan to remember the Queen with a stirring rendition of the national anthem on Wednesday night.

Supporters of the Ibrox side are set to bypass UEFA's hardline stance for God Save the King not to be sung before the Champions League crunch with Napoli. There will be no signature anthem and the traditional logo will not be placed inside the centre-circle before kick-off. It comes with decision makers in Nyon have warned Rangers, Manchester City and Chelsea not to play the anthem before the game either.

However, it is understood supporters at Ibrox are primed to burst into song when the players enter the pitch in a tribute to the monarch who reigned for 70 years before her passing last week. And Murphy, moved by the Europa League finalists' intentions, has thrown his weight behind the planned moment of unity before the action kicks off on the pitch.
