Rangers hit with further UEFA fines following firework incidents in Braga

Rangers hit with further UEFA fines following firework incidents in Braga

RANGERS have been hit with more UEFA fines for incidents during their Europa League quarter-final first leg against Braga. 

In the latest charges against the Ibrox side, the Scottish champions have been hit with a total charge of €46,250 (£38,902).

The fines are broken down into two charges. 

The first is for fireworks being lit amongst the Rangers section of the crowd in Portugal. UEFA passed down a £30K for this offence.

Rangers have been fined a further £8K for the fireworks being the cause of a delayed kick-off in the tie.

Braga were also fined for the lighting of fireworks, however, their charge was just €4,500.

It's the second time that the Ibrox club have been hit with similar fines by UEFA, after the fireworks also on display in Belgrade in the last-16 round.

In the play-off round, the club were also fined after fans invaded the pitch at full time in the aggregate victory over Borussia Dortmund.

Rangers play RB Leipzig in the semi-final of the competition tonight.
