Rangers injury latest as one man ruled out of Napoli while Leon King and Rabbi Matondo updates land

Giovanni van Bronckhorst has confirmed that Glen Kamara will miss Rangers' match with Napoli on Wednesday.

There were questions marks over the fitness levels of Rabbi Matondo and Leon King, who both had to be withdrawn during the 1-1 Premiership draw with Livingston on Saturday. But both men will be fit to play after their respective back and sickness issues, with their Finnish midfielder missing out.

It's set to be a huge test for manager Van Bronckhorst, who's side are already out of Champions League Group A ahead of their penultimate match in the group, and their final away trip. Pressure is mounting amid poor performances at Rangers and the Dutchman says his team are in Naples to win. Providing an update on his squad, he said: "Kamara didn't make it, too soon in his recovery but hopefully back for the weekend. Matondo is fit after a small injury at weekend and has travelled with us.

"Leon King is better, he was feeling sick on Saturday at half-time and had to come off. We need to start strong, it is really important.

"A goal can always happen but it is how we react. Game management is very important against a tough team. We have to be defensively solid.

"We need to attack well in our moments in possession. It is important we are dangerous on the ball to get a positive result."
