Lorenzo Amoruso rips into Rangers defending as he claims Ibrox stars only care about 'their own bit of the garden'

Lorenzo Amoruso reckons Rangers need to start fighting for each other - or risk more Champions League humiliation against Napoli, Ajax and Liverpool.

The Italian marshalled some formidable Ibrox back-lines back in the day as he won three league titles under Dick Advocaat and Alex McLeish. He admits it's been tough to watch his old team toil in Europe since qualifying for the top UEFA competition, as they've shipped seven goals to no reply against Ajax and Napoli.

They've also conceded eight in seven Premiership games - four of which came against Celtic in a damaging defeat at Parkhead. And Amoruso, speaking in the Sunday Post , reckons that's partly down to players looking after "their own bit of the garden" rather than defending as a team. He said: "Defences are the foundations of football teams. I played in a Rangers defence that was very strong, we knew and trusted each other so were able to provide the defensive stability that helped the team succeed.
