Rangers fined by Uefa and given suspended ban over ‘fireworks’ in Belgium

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” but that this measure is “suspended during a probationary period of two years, starting from the date of the present decision”.

The Ibrox side will play in the league phase of the Europa League this season, starting this month with a home tie against Genk.

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.

The club were fined around £25,000 for the banner, which was displayed during the home leg of their Europa League victory over Fenerbahce.
