Rangers 'hurting' after Celtic & Ajax defeats, admits Steven Davis

Steven Davis in Rangers 'hurting' admission ahead of Napoli tie

RANGERS' players have been "hurting" since their heavy defeats at the hands of Celtic and Ajax. 

That's according to experienced midfielder Steven Davis. 

The Northern Ireland legend insists the Ibrox squad want to put things right after two 'unacceptable' losses on the trot. 

And the 37-year-old sees no reason why Rangers can't get back to winning ways against Napoli tomorrow night.

He told the media: "The group has been hurting, we have been working hard at training and it is important we respond - that starts tomorrow night.

"We understand the level of the Champions League. Napoli have had a great start to the season but we know what we can achieve here in our home games with the crowd behind us.

"We have European experience throughout the squad after the last few years.

"We know the last two results haven't been acceptable, the most important thing for us is to get back to doing the basics well. We will have to be at our best to get the result we all want.

"There has been a huge amount of work on and off the pitch over the last few years to get us to this level. We know we are underdogs in the group but we have belief throughout the squad, we know how important our home games will be for us."
