UEFA have rejected a request from Ibrox to play the British national anthem before kick-off in the match against Napoli.
The Champions League tie has already been put back 24 hours with no away fans allowed inside Ibrox with the Tribute Act lobbying for more concessions.
EXCL: UEFA turn down requests from British clubs to play National Anthem ahead of matches in European competition this week. Chelsea and Rangers both understood to have asked. Story for @mailplus: https://t.co/t5zy9c1PA7

Ibrox is likely to resemble Last Night at the Proms come kick-off time tomorrow but the grief stricken crowd won’t hear the British anthem over the PA system although the fans not deep in mourning will be free to sing their patriotic favourites throughout the match.
Saturday’s home match against Dundee United will be entirely at the call of the home club with black armbands, special Castore kit, two minutes of silence with the British anthem before the kick-off, at half-time and with a blast after each goal.
In June 2012 the late monarch rejected a CVA pushing the 140 year old institution into liquidation.
They people are a different breed from us. Stand by for a good chuckle on Saturday.
