Rangers hit with partial stadium ban for sectarian chants
Rangers have been hit with a partial stadium ban by UEFA after a number of fans sung sectarian chants during their Europa League qualifying match against Gibraltar-based St Joseph’s in July.
The club have been told to close a section of Ibrox for their next home game in UEFA competition after breaching rules relating to racist behaviour.
The Glasgow club must therefore ensure no fewer than 3000 seats are empty for the Europa League play-off second leg against Legia Warsaw next Thursday.

The club have promised to try “to restrict the impact to offending supporters” and have told fans to stay away from matches if they cannot conduct themselves “in a civilised manner”.
