Rangers Hit With Partial Stadium Closure After Sectarian Chants in Europa League Clash

Rangers will be forced to close a section of Ibrox Stadium for Thursday's Europa League clash with Legia Warsaw after a section of fans were found to have sung racist chants in an earlier meeting with St. Joseph's.

The second leg of the first-round meeting with the Gibraltarians ended in a comfortable 6-0 win to Rangers, but the occasion was marred by sectarian chanting from a section of the club's supporters.

Rangers confirmed the ruling on their official website, and they must also display a banner which reads '#EqualGame' over the closed section of the stadium.
