Rangers received a boost ahead of their scheduled clash with Napoli after the Italians confirmed that striker Victor Osimhen suffered an arm injury.
The frontman had to be subbed during the Serie A outfit’s 4-1 opening night Champions League Group A victory over Liverpool. While Luciano Spalletti’s side were taking the six-time European champions apart, Rangers were suffering their own Euro nightmare as Ajax put them to the sword in Amsterdam, running out 4-0 winners.
Gio van Bronckhorst ’s side are due to host Napoli at Ibrox next Tuesday. However, with the UK in a national period of mourning following the death of Queen Elizabeth II on Thursday, the club are in talks with their opponents and UEFA over whether the game will go ahead. The European governing body are adamant that all scheduled fixtures should be played next midweek, although the Ibrox club have acknowledged policing and logistical pressures with the late Queen lying in state in Edinburgh.
