RANGERS have paid tribute to Queen Elizabeth with Ibrox singing the national anthem in her memory.
The stadium is packed out tonight for the club's Champions League tie against Napoli.
And everyone was on their feet to sing God Save The King as part of Rangers' tribute to Her Majesty.
Tonight's game is the first match the Ibrox side have played since the sad passing of the UK's longest-serving monarch last Thursday.

Both sets of players are wearing black arm bands as a mark of respect.
A moments silence took place prior to the game, which was impeccably observed.
And as can be seen with the video above, the 50,000-strong crowd were in fine voice as the British national anthem was played.
A Union Jack tifo was also displayed by the Broomloan Stand as the players walked out of the tunnel.
As stated in our previous piece, the singing of the national anthem defied UEFA rules.
It remains to be seen whether Rangers will face a fine from the governing body or not as a result.
