Rangers have been issued a UEFA fine after an incident during their match against Malmo FF.
Ibrox chiefs have been sanctioned over the lighting of fireworks during the Europa League league phase contest last month.
Rangers will now have to pay a €19,000 (£15,800) fine to the governing body after the fan behaviour at Malmo's home ground.
The incident comes under the UEFA rules over the lighting of fireworks in Article 16(2)(c) DR.
Hosts Malmo have also been fined as a result of fan actions during the loss to Rangers.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
