Rangers Football Club announced they are facing substantial sanctions after a racist banner was displayed by fans during a UEFA match. The banner, which urged to keep foreign ideologies out, drew criticism and embarrassment for the club, which prides itself on its diversity. In their statement, Rangers condemned such behavior, emphasizing that it does not align with the values of their progressive organization. They reiterated their commitment to inclusivity and announced efforts to identify those responsible for the fan misconduct, including throwing objects and obstructing passageways during a home match against Fenerbahce.
Rangers confirmed on Wednesday that they faced significant sanctions after what UEFA described as a "racist and/or discriminatory banner" was unveiled by a group of fans.
Rangers is a modern, progressive football club, and we are fiercely proud of our diverse playing squads, workforce and support. For the club to be charged with such a matter in 2025 is shameful.
Rangers said they were working to identify those responsible and would ensure those people faced consequences.
This senseless and criminal behaviour has no place in sport, nor in society," Rangers said.
