Giovanni van Bronckhorst on Rangers' performance and James Sands' dismissal in Napoli Ibrox defeat

Giovanni van Bronckhorst admits he was happy with Rangers' performance against Napoli and the score didn't reflect the game.

The Light Blues lost out 3-0 in the end as the Serie A side took control at the top of the section with two wins from two leaving the Ibrox men searching for their first points in the Champions League group stage with a Battle of Britain double-header to come next against Liverpool after the international break.

The performance was night and day from the defeats to Celtic and Ajax with the home side starting fast and creating a number of chances including a golden opportunity for Alfredo Morelos inside the opening 30 seconds. But it wasn't to be with James Sands' dismissal proving costly. Allan McGregor was also in stunning form despite the result making a number of big saves and denying the visitors twice from the penalty spot - with the first retaken after a VAR check.
