"Rangers have been fined 17,291 and given a suspended supporter ban by Uefa after the "lighting of fireworks" during last month's Champions League play-off defeat by Club Brugge. The incident took place during the second leg of the tie in Belgium, which Rangers lost 6-0 after a 3-1 loss in the first leg at Ibrox. Uefa say Rangers could be banned "from selling tickets to its away supporters for the next...Uefa competition match""
"In March, Rangers said they were "in the process of issuing lifetime bans" to those responsible for a banner that led to Uefa issuing a suspended closure of the Copland Stand. The stand at Ibrox, which holds around 8,000 fans, will be shut for one game if there is "a repeat of racist and/or discriminatory behaviour" during European matches within the next 18 months."
Rangers were fined 17,291 and handed a suspended supporter ban by UEFA following the lighting of fireworks during the Champions League play-off second leg in Belgium, a match Rangers lost 6-0 after a 3-1 first-leg defeat at Ibrox. UEFA warned that the club could be banned from selling tickets to away supporters for a future UEFA competition match, but that sanction is suspended for a two-year probationary period. Rangers will compete in the Europa League group phase, opening at home against Genk. The club has also issued lifetime bans over a discriminatory banner that prompted a suspended Copland Stand closure and a fine of around 25,000.
