ποΈ SD: The group has been hurting, we have been working hard at training and it is important we respond - that starts tomorrow night.
ποΈ SD: 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.
ποΈ SD: 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.
ποΈ SD: 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.
ποΈ SD: We are excited for the game, the intensity has been there at training.
We know the fans are all excited for the return of European football and we know it will be an incredible atmosphere.
ποΈ SD: We know Napoli have quality in the midfield and we have prepared well ahead of this match on their strengths.

ποΈ GVB: The mood is good, we have been together for a couple days preparing well for this game. Tomorrow will be time for us to perform.
ποΈ GVB: McLaughlin has picked up an injury and will not be involved.
ποΈ GVB: We want to improve after every game, set pieces are definitely one of the areas we didn't do well and we have given attention to improving.
ποΈ GVB: It is different for Allan (McGregor) this season, he has still been the same in training. I have every faith in him tomorrow with the experience he has.
No doubt in my mind that he will perform tomorrow.
ποΈ GVB: Alfredo (Morelos) is in a good place mentally and physically, he is training really well and I have had a good conversation with him.
He is in a far better place and makes it difficult for me to decide on my starting team.
ποΈ GVB: We have faced heavy defeats and we have talked about it and learned from it, now is the chance tomorrow to get a good result at our home.
At Rangers, we know two defeats in a row are unacceptable. We go out tomorrow to win with our philosophy.
ποΈ GVB: Napoli are a very strong team. We know the challenge we have against a very good team but we are very well prepared.
ποΈ GVB: Tavernier is doing better than the last few weeks, the weekend allowed him more time to recover.
Physically, he should be in a much better place than in the match against Ajax.
ποΈ GVB: The level we reached in the last few games was not to our high standard.
We have to reach our level individually and as a team, I am confident with our preparation we will be in a much better place tomorrow.
Tomorrow at 8pm it is time for us to perform.
