Rangers are playing to salvage some respect after a heavy 7-1 defeat to Jurgen Klopp’s side last time out.

Rangers will do well to lose by two here given the form of both teams, with Napoli rampant against Ajax last time out and handing Liverpool a heavy loss here too. The hosts are flying and competition is fierce, which should mean standards remain high for the Serie A leaders to coast to a big win. 3-0.
