    Matteo Politano (pen)

    Change of penalty taker. Change of outcome.

    Matteo Politano goes low to the right, so does Allan McGregor, and he's not far away, but the ball sneaks in the corner.

    He couldn't again, could he?

  3. Another PENALTY to Napoli!published at 67 mins

    Rangers 0-0 Napoli

    A handball from Borna Barisic after a strike from Napoli's Kvaratskhelia.

    The distance between the shot and the handball isn't much at all, but Barisic's hand is up and that's all that matters these days.

    Napoli are really dominating the ball now with the extra man.

    But Di Lorenzo attempts one from miles out after a long spell of possession. Well off target. Rangers will take that all night long.

    Off goes Ryan Jack for Leon King. A tactical tweak from Giovanni van Bronckhorst as his side are down to 10 men.

    Wow, that second penalty save was celebrated as vociferously as if Rangers had just slammed a goal in.

    Incredible scenes at Ibrox as the returning Allan McGregor's name rings around the stadium.

    Take a bow, Allan McGregor! If they didn't love him already, they do now.

    Initially I thought Sands had got something on the ball, but Simeone gets sandwiched. Scott Arfield gives the ball away in the middle of the park, one simple pass puts the Napoli man through.

    Allan McGregor makes a top save from Piotr Zielinksi's penalty, but Matteo Politano is in to slip in the rebound.

    But VAR is checking for encroachment...

    Out of nowhere, Giovanni Simeone races through and James Sands tries to dive in at the last second, but the referee points to the spot for the American's attempted challenge.

    Crackin' play between Piotr Zielinksi and Matteo Politano, who ends up trying a half volley from the edge of the box but sees the effort drop wide of the right-hand post.

  16. CLOSE!published at 53 mins

    Rangers 0-0 Napoli

    It's another short corner routine.

    The ball loops high to the back post and Connor Goldson aims a header towards the back post.

    But James Sands just can't get there. Any touch on that and it's 1-0.

    And here come the hosts again, sweeping forward as Ryan Jack slips James Tavernier down the right.

    The Ranger captain's dangerous cross is dealt with, as is the resulting corner, but the home side have another one.

    Rangers look so much more confident on the ball tonight.

    Connor Goldson diverts behind for a corner.

    Napoli make a bit of a mess of trying to work the ball into the box but Kvaratskhelia manages to eventually get a shot away.

    Allan McGregor gets two strong hands behind it.

    It was great work from Ryan Jack down the left, Tavernier knocks it down, and Arfield should do better.
