  1. 'Napoli on a different level'

    This is quite the education Napoli are offering here. Casually cranking up the pressure before detonating in a devastating five or six-minute spell, then retreating to start the cycle all over again. Rangers are gamely chasing them but the Italian side are playing a different sport here.

  2. Napoli 2-0 Rangers

    It's a free header - Raspadori has the goal at his mercy there.

  3. Napoli 2-0 Rangers

    Giacomo Raspadori is all alone inside the Rangers penalty box to meet a dinked cross from the right. He gets plenty on his header but Allan McGregor is able to gather this one with a diving save.

  4. Napoli 2-0 Rangers

    Ridvan Yilmaz nips in to break up a Napoli attack but the home side win the ball back almost immediately as Scott Wright overruns it.

  5. Napoli 2-0 Rangers

    Scott Wright does well to keep the ball in play and hook in a cross from the right but a defender gets to it before Malik Tillman.

  6. Napoli 2-0 Rangers

    Rangers continue to chase shadows, but the home side have dropped the tempo ever so slightly.

  7. Napoli 2-0 Rangers

    The Rangers manager is not a happy bunny.

    What can Giovanni van Bronckhorst do to stem the impressive flow of Napoli?

    Tavernier is glued to the floor. It's another great chance for Napoli.

  9. Napoli 2-0 Rangers

    Giacomo Raspadori is up high at the back post as the hosts launch another attack but the Italy forward can't steer his header on target.

    Domestically, Morelos may be able to roll players but not at this level. The pace and power is a step up.

  11. Napoli 2-0 Rangers

    A glimmer of hope for Rangers as Alfredo Morelos makes his way into the home penalty area, but Kim Min-jae gets in front of him to usher the ball out of play.

  12. 'Rangers need to dig deep'

    Two lapses of concentration, and two goals. That's what teams like this do.

    Giovanni van Bronckhorst spoke yesterday of the need to start strongly, of not collapsing after conceding as they have done on occasion this season. He also spoke about his players showing character.

    Now might be the time...

  13. HITS THE WOODWORK

    Napoli 2-0 Rangers

    Rangers can hardly get a touch at the moment as Giovanni Di Lorenzo waltzes past a couple of challenges and lays off a back-heel to Tanguy Ndombele, who thunders a shot against the crossbar from 20 yards.

  14. 'This could be five or six'

    No messing about. Simeone makes the run between the two defenders, and what a delivery in. This could be five or six.

  15. Napoli 2-0 Rangers

    Kevin Thomson
    Former Rangers midfielder on BT Sport

    It's sensational, I think it's even better than the first goal. His dad (Atletico Madrid coach Diego) would be running around the park already...

  18. Napoli 1-0 Rangers

    Another inviting ball across the face of goal from Di Lorenzo and Simeone isn't far away.

  19. Napoli 1-0 Rangers

    Kevin Thomson
    Former Rangers midfielder on BT Sport

    It's even more of an uphill battle for the Rangers player now. Napoli really are one of the best sides I've seen.

    Terrific goal. Great work down the right side - Ndombele the key instigator, and then Simeone smashes it into the far corner.
