Rangers will face a Napoli side full of confidence after a last-gasp winner took them top of the table in Italy.
The Serie A outfit warmed-up for their trip to Glasgow to face Giovanni van Bronckhorst's men with a clash against bottom end of the league side Spezia. The visitors frustrated their unbeaten opponents on their own turf as they looked set to claim a big point until Giacomo Raspadori fired in an 89th minute winner to snatch all three points.
Victory puts the Naples side on 14 points from six outings in the league. They've picked up four wins and two draws to sit alongside AC Milan as the top two in the division. Atalanta sit one point further back and play later today as they bid to reclaim first position. The latest win comes after an opening group stage Champions League win over Liverpool. Luciano Spalletti's men hammered the Reds 4-1 on the same night the Light Blues lost out 4-0 in Amsterdam.

Speaking after the game, the manager said: “It’s difficult to play three days after a night like that against Liverpool, especially in the afternoon in this heat, but despite it all, we did everything we could to get the result.
"Thanks to our determination to keep going to the end, we found the breakthrough.
"This is a show of character, patience, belief that sooner or later we’ll find the goal, but we can’t always afford to be in these situations and they were costly last season.
“The players were exceptional in some ways today, but you don’t always get Raspadori giving the final blow and we need to improve that.
“Raspadori was exceptional, he came back many times to create the link with the midfield, then moved onto the right he worked for the defence too. That is his position, he’s not a centre-forward and not a winger, he plays sort of centre-left. Well done, Raspa!
