UEFA Champions League: Marco Negri expects Rangers players to sit back against Napoli

October 27 will see a clash between Rangers and Napoli. Former Italian footballer player Marco Negri expects the team to have a different approach than in 1997 against Napoli.

The rangers are without a point in the ongoing Champions League and are going face-to-face with Series A leaders who scored 17 goals in four matches. The clash is happening in Italy next week.

Ex-Rangers boss Walter Smith signed Negri for 3.5 million pounds in 1997. He scored 33 league goals before he suffered an eye injury and had to leave mid-season.
His abrupt leaving is considered one reason Rangers could not win ten-in-a-row with Celtic in that season.


Negri has concerns for his current Rangers team. He expects them to have a different approach than when they played in Ibrox. Also, he hopes they will sit back and accept that Napoli will attack aggressively.

Napoli fans have managed to grab 35,000 tickets for the upcoming match at a 54,000-capacity Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.
On the other hand, Rangers fans have yet to be allotted tickets after a ruling by UEFA.

A Gers spokesperson has said that Rangers fans will not be permitted in the stadium and will not be accommodated in the city.
