Rangers officials are in the process of issuing lifetime bans to a number of members of the Union Bears.
The club are taking action against those responsible for displaying a 'racist and/or discriminatory' banner during the Europa League match against Fenerbahce.
UEFA have issued a suspended partial stadium closure punishment to Rangers over the display held up in the second half of the knockout stage match.
The banner was displayed in the section housing the Union Bears supporter group in the Copland Stand at Ibrox. It read: "Keep woke foreign ideologies out. Defend Europe."
Now, Rangers officials will issue lifetime bans to those responsible for the display.
A Rangers statement read: "Rangers notes the outcome of the UEFA disciplinary case, and the respective sanctions imposed upon the club for several issues at the recent Ibrox match with Fenerbahce.
"Most notably, the club has been served with a suspended closure of the Copland Stand should there be any repeat of racist and/or discriminatory behaviour within the next two years.

"This punishment must serve as a severe and significant reminder to the small minority of supporters who bring the name of Rangers into disrepute. Any repeat of any discriminatory behaviour (and this also includes the singing of illicit songs) may result in the famed ‘Rangers end’ of our home being closed for a UEFA match.
"Not only will the reputation and finances of the club be harmed by such a punishment, but the chances of the team in a potentially key European match will also suffer enormously, while thousands of innocent fans will be unable to attend a massive fixture.
"In response to the displaying of the racist and/or discriminatory banner at the Fenerbahce game, the club can confirm that it is in the process of issuing lifetime bans to the individuals responsible."
