UEFA's disciplinary panel have charged Rangers for the second time, finding the club's supporters guilty of 'racist behaviour'.
The decision means that Rangers' next European home fixture will have a partial stadium closure enforced, with 3,000 seats at Ibrox closed off.
The offensive chants took place in Poland during Rangers' away tie against Legia Warsaw.
This is the second time that Rangers fans have been found guilty by UEFA after supporters were found guilty of racist chanting against St Joseph's in the first round of qualifying in the Europa League.
**A story published on heraldscotland.com and The Evening Times said that Rangers faced potential further sanctions following sectarian behaviour following a Europa League clash in Denmark. This story was a story that was written by a freelancer who claimed a third charge was imminent for the Ibrox side. The inaccurate article has been taken down and we apologise for it.**
