Rangers 'embarrassed' by racist banner charge from UEFA
Rangers have reacted with "embarrassment" after being charged by UEFA for a "racist and/or discriminatory banner" displayed by fans in last week's Europa League tie against Fenerbahce.
Banners reading: "Keep woke foreign ideologies out - defend Europe" were held up by fans as Rangers progressed to the quarter-finals on penalties on Thursday against the Turkish giants.
The Scottish club were also hit with other UEFA charges, including the throwing of objects and blocking passageways.
"For the club to be charged with such a matter in 2025 is shameful, and the disdain for those responsible will be shared by the overwhelming majority of our supporters," Rangers said in a statement.
"This charge will bring consequences for the club, while the club is also working to identify those responsible and will ensure they also face consequences.
"For the avoidance of doubt, if you do not believe in 2025 that absolutely everyone is welcome to follow Rangers whether at Ibrox or away, then Rangers is not the club for you, and you should disassociate yourself with the club immediately."
Rangers also criticised "two individuals" for using pyrotechnics after Sunday's league win over local rivals Celtic which could impact future ticket allocations.
The 2022 Europa League finalists will face Athletic Bilbao in the Europa League last eight next month.
