UEFA have handed out a world record ninth fine in a season to the Ibrox Tribute Act. 

Every round of their proud run to the Europa League Final has attracted fines with further sanctions expected for the actions of their fans inside the Ramon Sanchez Pisswan Stadium in Seville. 

Flares and fireworks seem to be the order of the day from Ibrox fans although the club will be grateful that they haven’t added to the two partial stadium closures in 2019 for racist chanting at matches. 

BT Sport reports: 

Rangers have been punished for incidents at the home leg of their Europa League semi-final victory over RB Leipzig last month. 

The Ibrox club have been fined 6,000 Euros (£5,150) for the “throwing of objects” from the stand, while they have incurred an additional penalty for “lighting of fireworks” during the match on May 5, which the Scots won 3-1. 

Details of the sanctions have just been released following a meeting earlier this month of UEFA’s control, ethics and disciplinary body. 

It means Rangers have incurred fines amounting to well over £100,000 during their run to the Europa League final after being penalised for several indiscretions in the earlier rounds. 

Last season the Ibrox club escaped any fines from the SFA and SPFL, since 2012 no action has been taken against the club for the racist actions by fans that have twice resulted in partial stadium closures enforced by UEFA.
