Rangers take on the visitors Napoli in the round 2 match of UEFA Champions League group stage. The match will be played on Wednesday, September 14th at Ibrox Stadium (Glasgow).
Rangers Glasgow had a long way to this success. The Light Blues, of course, will long remember Gerrard, who has become a cult coach here. It was the young Englishman who returned the legendary club to No. 1 status in Scotland by winning the Premiership in 2020/2021. But Van Bronkhorst, who took over from Stephen last fall, has a lot to be proud of. He reached the Europa League final with Rangers last season. And this summer I finally won the Champions League qualification with them. To do this, it was necessary to make a comeback with Union Saint-Gillois (3-0 after 0-2 in Belgium) and knock out PSV in Eindhoven (1-0 in the Netherlands after 2-2 at home). Returning to Holland last week, the Scots could not oppose Ajax. He calmed down only when the score was 4-0 in his favor in Amsterdam.

Napoli under Spalletti are back among the strongest in Italy. "Partenopeia" after the scandalous resignation of Sarri unsuccessfully relied on Ancelotti and Gattuso. And only last season, having got Luciano, they managed to return to the quartet of leaders. Moreover, for a considerable part of the season, the representative of Naples butted heads with the Milan duet for leadership, however, in the end he finished in 3rd place. In the summer, the project had a new challenge in the form of an overhaul of the composition. But it also seemed to go well, and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia started incredibly in Italy. In the Champions League, the start was also a success: Liverpool conceded three times before the break, and ended up 4-1 at all. The Georgian did not score this time, but scored with an assist.
Both Rangers and Napoli have glorious pages in their history and have been playing in European competitions for a long time and regularly. It is even strange that they avoided meeting each other. Rangers are not bad at home, but Napoli are at their peak right now. We recommend betting that the Italians will win in Glasgow.
Prediction for the match: Napoli to win.
