Napoli send ominous Rangers warning as Ibrox tormenter kept back to finish Champions League mission

The prospect of facing a side looking to make it a dozen wins in a row in all competitions is daunting enough for a Rangers side who were distinctly underwhelming in Saturday’s 1-1 draw against Livingston at Ibrox.

So the last thing they need to hear is that one of Napoli’s star men - and standout when the sides met on matchday two in Champions League Group A - is set for a return for the visit of under-fire Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s side to southern Italy on Wednesday. But that is exactly the case with Frank Zambo Anguissa ready to make his comeback from a thigh injury at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium. The 42-times capped Cameroon midfielder was outstanding in the 3-0 win in Glasgow and capped a dominant display by setting up Tanguy Ndombele’s injury time goal that completed the rout.

The 26-year-old, though, picked up an injury in the last Champions League outing against Ajax and was expected to be out for up to three weeks. But Anguissa has made a speedy recovery and even came into consideration for Sunday’s 1-0 victory away to Jose Mourinho’s Roma which kept Luciano Spalletti’s men flying high at the top of the Serie A table.
