RANGERS have been hit with another UEFA fine over Europa League action at Ibrox with the total disciplinary costs totaling more than £100,000 this season.
The Ibrox club were most recently slapped with a €3,750 (est. £3,200) fine for fan behaviour during the win over RB Leipzig to make it to the finals.
Rangers were charged under Article 16 (2) (c) DR of the UEFA regulations over the lighting of fireworks.
It is the latest of a lengthy list of fines handed down by the governing body to the club this season during the incredible run to the final in Seville.
The club were first hit with a €5,250 over the "lighting and throwing of an object" against Brondby back in November.
Rangers were then charged €6,000 for objects thrown in the Ibrox victory over Sparta Prague.
In January, Rangers were slapped with a significant £16,000 fine during the "festival of lights" pyro display in the away match at Lyon.
UEFA chiefs sanctioned the €19,250 fine for the "lighting of fireworks" under Art. 16(2)(c).
Next was a fine after the 6-4 aggregate win over Dortmund when UEFA demanded €5,000 be paid after supporters, including children, ran onto the pitch.
In the away tie against Red Star in Serbia Rangers were again fined. This time UEFA chiefs handed out fines for the throwing of objects, €30,000, and acts of damage €5,000.
In the quarter-final first-leg against Braga, Rangers were fined a total of €46,250 over fireworks lit and a delayed kick-off in the match.
On the home leg, Rangers were again fined for €8,000 over the 'blocking of public passageways'.
It takes the total cost in disciplinary fines to €128,500 or around £109,200.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
