Why Rangers vs Napoli is postponed but Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester City receive UEFA go ahead

Rangers' Champions League clash with Napoli has been pushed back 24 hours by UEFA European football's governing body during the mourning period for Queen Elizabeth II.

Gio van Bronckhorst's side had been set to host Napoli on Tuesday, September 13 but earlier today it was pushed back 24 hours with UEFA citing "severe limitations on police resources and organisational issues" relating to the sad passing of the monarch. However, some fans have been confused by the decisions to push the game back, with English Premier League sides Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester City all hosting Champions League group stage games.

Liverpool 's Group A game with Ajax on Tuesday night is set to go ahead with UEFA confirming the round of games will go ahead as planned, excluding Rangers' clash with the Serie A leaders. New Chelsea boss Graham Potter will take his first game at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday against RB Leipzig, while Manchester City are in action at the same time against Borussia Dortmund.
