Ibrox fans were left with the worst of all worlds after tonight’s 3-0 defeat from Napoli.
Their side’s fifth successive Champions League defeat was a hard watch but the winning margin leaves Giovanni van Bronckhorst in place with his departure simply delayed.
A bizarre team selection allowed Napoli to race into a 2-0 lead after 16 minutes with the real prospect that the 7-1 mauling from Liverpool could be repeated.
Already on an 11 match winning run Napoli switched off with just one more goal from Leo Ostigard for the home fans to celebrate.
With a goal difference of 1-19 and zero points van Bronckhorst can spin tonight as a minor success but the well of goodwill from Seville last season has run dry, losing any more ground to Celtic is likely to be the end of the road for the Dutchman.

Yet another shambles of a performance! Some Players obviously don’t even want to be here!!! Embarrassing how far we have regressed in the past 2 seasons! The Board Ross Wilson & GVB need to leave now!

His role has become untenable. The players don’t play for him and we don’t back him. Sack him and save further humiliation.

It’s a sad state of affairs when getting beat 3-0 seems like a good result. As in, at least it wasn’t 8-0.

Napoli could have skelped us about 5/6-0 if they wanted, just hope they haven’t saved Gio his job. Napoli are a quality team but the body language of the players says it all
