Rangers have been handed a fine of nearly £30,000 following last month's Europa League last 16 tie with Red Star Belgrade.

The club have been told they are being charged with two separate incidents from the game in Belgrade on March 17th.

The Ibrox side have been given a fine of €30,000 for fans allegedly throwing objects, as well as €5,000 for "acts of damage by supporters."

UEFA stated in their report that the Gers must ‘contact FK Crvena Zvezda within 30 days for the settlement of the damages caused by its supporters’.

Video footage circulating online after the match alleged both sets of fans were throwing items at each other during the clash in the Marakana.

It was reported following the game that Gers fans had damaged the away section of the stadium with chairs having been ripped up, with reports in Serbia claiming more than 500 seats were ripped out by Gers supporters.

Giovanni van Bronckhorst's side progressed from the tie 4-2 on aggregate.

They face Braga in the quarter-final second leg this evening at Ibrox.
