Rangers cop another UEFA fine as Braga pyro hammered with hefty punishment

Rangers have been fined £38,902 by UEFA following their Europa League tie with Braga.

The Ibrox club copped two separate punishments in the wake of their quarter-final victory - £30,000 for fans letting off flares and a further £8000 over late kick-off.

Similar incidents during a last 16 clash with Red Star Belgrade also brought financial penalties earlier in April, making it the second time in a matter of weeks Rangers have been rapped by European football's governing body.

Travelling fans lit flares inside the Estádio Municipal de Braga in a first-leg encounter on April 7, while the Ibrox club were also found at fault for the match kicking off late.

Earlier in their continental campaign, Rangers were also punished for fans entering the pitch during the tie with Borussia Dortmund.

Giovanni van Bronckhorst 's side are back in Europa League action on Thursday night as they travel to face RB Leipzig in a monumental semi-final first leg.
