Rangers could be set to park the bus when they head to Napoli this midweek, according to club legend Marco Negri.
It's a bleak time at Ibrox just now after a dismal four defeats in succession has them out of the Champions League with two games to play, while they are now four points behind Celtic in this year's Premiership after a 1-1 home draw against Livingston. Negri watched the Ibrox bout between Rangers and the Serie A club earlier this season, anticipating a different approach to the 'aggressive' one in Govan.
The Italian reckons his former club will need to sit in and hope for a positive outcome against one of the competition's in-form teams. He told the Sunday Mail: “I expect a different approach from Rangers than the one they took when Napoli played them at Ibrox. I don’t think Rangers will be anything like as aggressive as they were in the home leg.

"I think they will sit back and accept that Napoli will have wave after wave of attacks. We already saw in Glasgow that Napoli ended up dominating.
"It is because of their superior technical ability. Luciano Spalletti will have to be patient because I don’t see Rangers attacking at all.
"I think they will be forced to sit back and hope to get through it.”
