Rangers will meet Napoli at Ibrox on Wednesday after UEFA gave the green light to postpone Champions League Group A clash. All domestic football in Britain has been postponed following the death of the Queen and there was some uncertainty over European ties.
There were fears over a lack of Police Scotland resources with the Queen lying in state in Edinburgh and up to 200,000 mourners expected. European football's governing body were keen for the game to go ahead with a congested calendar due to the winter World Cup in Qatar which has already resulted in a condensed competition.
Rangers and Napoli chiefs have been in discussions with UEFA over a solution and the Ibrox club said in a statement: "Rangers can today confirm the upcoming UEFA Champions League match with SSC Napoli at Ibrox has been rescheduled for Wednesday, 14 September at 8pm. This is due to the severe limitations on policing resources and organisational challenges related to the ongoing events surrounding the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
