Giovanni van Bronckhorst has explained the reasons behind Leon King being replaced against Livingston as he delivered an update on the young defender and team-mate Rabbi Matondo.
Rangers head to Naples on Wednesday night looking to keep slim hopes of European football after Christmas alive. They would ideally need to get a result and hope Liverpool defeat Ajax to take it down to the final game at Ibrox against the Dutch side. A point in Italy coupled up with defeat for the Eredivisie leaders would mean a win in Glasgow would secure third spot in the group section.
The Light Blues drew 1-1 at home with Livingston at the weekend as they fell four points behind Celtic in the race for the title. John Lundstram rescued a point with a 90th minute leveller. King was replaced by James Sands at half-time. Connor Goldson, Filip Helander and John Souttar are all on the sidelines at present - but the news was good on King who was just feeling ill and not injured.
