Rangers face further trouble as another investigation now underway

Rangers are facing a potential punishment given the pyro chaos at Ibrox v Lyon, but that is not the only thing UEFA are looking at, according to the Scottish Sun.

The newspaper reported via its website on 4 October that UEFA are also investigating a banner that was unfurled by the Ibrox faithful on Thursday, 3 October, in the Europa League.

The investigation is underway in Nyon and the results will be made available in due course.

Rangers flirt with potential UEFA fines and punishments

The potential stadium ban looming over Gers due to the pyro chaos and the additional scrutiny over the banner unfurled during the Lyon match could spell significant trouble for the club.

A stadium ban, particularly closing off the Copland Road stand, would not only deprive Rangers of home advantage but also reduce matchday revenue, impacting financially at a critical time.

This scenario would disrupt the atmosphere at Ibrox, essential for motivating the team, and might lead to a dip in fan morale and match attendance.

Moreover, imposing bans on fans causing disturbances is crucial as it sends a strong message about acceptable behaviour, potentially deterring future incidents.

Such actions are essential to maintain safety within the stadium, ensuring that football remains an enjoyable and safe environment for all supporters, including families and those with disabilities.

This proactive approach also helps in managing UEFA’s expectations, possibly mitigating harsher punishments in the future by demonstrating a commitment to fan behaviour management.

In other Rangers news, the club may now announce a contract extension for another first-team player despite recent performances.

Such actions are essential to maintain safety within the stadium, ensuring that football remains an enjoyable and safe environment for all supporters, including families and those with disabilities.
