UEFA refused Rangers the opportunity to have a tifo in their section of the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium for the Europa League final last night.
The refusal comes after Frankfurt fans showed off a stunning display in their end of the arena prior to kick-off.
The Germans also let off pyrotechnics during the second-half as they protested against Uefa.
Rangers chiefs were in discussions with the European football governing body up until lunchtime on the day of the game about a possible tifo for fans, but the request was rejected.
The Ibrox club narrowly missed out on winning the Europa League as Frankfurt ran out winners in a penalty shootout.
Joe Aribo had given Giovanni van Bronckhorst's side the lead before Rafeal Borre levelled the match with 20 minutes reaming.
Ryan Kent had a huge opportunity to win the game in the dying stages of extra-time, but an Aaron Ramsey missed spotkick proved costly, as the Germans ran out winners.
