Rangers have been issued a UEFA fine after an incident during their match against Malmo FF.
Ibrox chiefs have been sanctioned over the lighting of fireworks during the Europa League league phase contest last month.
Rangers will now have to pay a €19,000 (£15,800) fine to the governing body after the fan behaviour at Malmo's home ground.
The incident comes under the UEFA rules over the lighting of fireworks in Article 16(2)(c) DR.
Hosts Malmo have also been fined as a result of fan actions during the loss to Rangers.
