The Champions League match between Rangers and Napoli has been rescheduled for Wednesday, September 14 at 8 p.m.

Due to limitations in enforcement resources following the death of Queen Elizabeth II, the game was originally planned to be played the day before but has been delayed.

“This is due to the severe limitations on policing resources and organisational challenges related to the ongoing events surrounding the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

“Rangers, of course, recognise this switch in date will inconvenience a number of our loyal supporters, and refunds will be available to those unable to attend the match,” a statement from Ranger said

Additionally, the club made it clear that there won’t be any Napoli supporters at the game, which will enable them to provide more tickets to spectators who want to watch Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s team.

To promote “sporting integrity,” the same will apply to the away game.

Rangers suffered a 4-0 defeat in their inaugural Champions League match away to Ajax at the Johan Cruyff Arena.

But in the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium, Napoli defeated Liverpool 4-1.

After winning the Champions League, Kylian Mbappé is expected to be announced as a new signing by Real Madrid the following week.

In February, the 25-year-old international athlete made his choice. He can now be regarded as a new Real player because every document has been completed, sealed, and signed.

As per media reports, Kylian Mbappé joined Real Madrid from Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer. “.. I wanted to announce to you all that it’s my last year at Paris Saint-Germain. I will not extend and the adventure will come to an end in a few weeks. I will play my last game as Parc des Princes on Sunday,” Mbappe said in a video statement on X.

“It’s a lot of emotions. (For) many years I had the chance and great honour to be a member of the biggest French club, one of the best in the world which allowed me to travel here,” Mbappe added.

“It’s hard and I never thought it would be this difficult to announce that I will leave the country, France, the league and the Championship. But I think, I needed this, a new challenge after seven years.”
