ANKARA (AA) - The Rangers vs. Napoli match in the Champions League was rescheduled over Queen Elizabeth II's death, UEFA said on Sunday.

"UEFA today announced that the UEFA Champions League tie between Rangers FC and SSC Napoli, originally to be played on Tuesday 13 September, has been rescheduled for Wednesday 14 September at 21.00CET," the European football body said in a statement.

"This is due to the severe limitations on police resources and organisational issues related to the ongoing events surrounding the national mourning for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II," UEFA said.

It stated that away fans will not be at Glasgow's Ibrox Stadium on Wednesday.

"Away fans will not be authorised at the games, and as a matter of sporting fairness, Rangers’ fans will not be authorised for the return legs in Naples," UEFA added.

The queen died on Thursday, Sept. 8 in Balmoral estate in Aberdeenshire, Scotland at the age of 96.
