Rangers Football Club has been fined a total of £28,000 by UEFA due to the use of pyrotechnics by a small minority of fans during recent Europa League matches against Malmo and Lyon. Interim chairman John Gilligan and manager Philippe Clement have both urged supporters to cease the use of flares, emphasizing that such actions negatively impact the club and its budget. Gilligan expressed disappointment over the incident, warning that continued violations could lead to even harsher penalties, including potential stadium closures. He also highlighted the adverse effects of pyrotechnics on fans, such as smoke and loud noises. The club is currently undergoing leadership changes, with Creag Robertson set to leave his position as director of football operations. Both Gilligan and Clement remain confident that the supportive majority of fans will heed their calls for compliance with UEFA regulations.
