What the Rangers pundits said as Kenny Miller searches for Ibrox comfort with positives from 'harsh' Napoli rout

It has been a long time since Ibrox saw Champions League football, but this evening was not the return Rangers would have been hoping for.

Napoli defeated Gio van Bronckhorst 's side by three clear goals to make it a third heavy loses on the bounce for the men in Light Blue. The scoreline means that Rangers have conceded 11 goals in their last three matches, failing to score any themselves.

McGregor was able to keep two attempts from the spot out the net but three goals followed as Rangers' performance dipped.
