One of Brazil's most popular news sites have made the controversial claim that Rangers are a 'right-wing club' in a new article.
UOL, which has a Facebook following of over 8 million people in the South American country, published the piece in the sports section of their website today.
Bearing the headline 'Politics on the pitch: 5 more right-wing soccer teams', the article includes the Ibrox club in a list of sides 'linked to right-wing ideologies'.

Rangers feature in the list alongside Partizan Belgrade, F.C. Hansa Rostock in Germany, PSG and Chelsea.
In reference to Rangers, the article notes: "While Celtic has more left-wing ideals and represents Scotland's Catholic community, Rangers are the nation's right wing and Protestant club.
"In general, supporters of the blue team vote for the Conservative Party, defend the United Kingdom as a unified country and are 100% loyal to the authority of Queen Elizabeth.
"With so many political and ideological differences, the "Old Firm", the classic match that sees the two main forces of Scottish football play each other, is usually one of the most explosive derbies in Europe."
The article is a follow-up to from an original article on '5 more right-wing soccer teams' published at the end of May, which featured Lazio, Legia Warsaw, Real Madrid, Beitar Jerusalem and Zenit Saint Petersburg - the team that defeated Rangers in 2008 to lift the UEFA Cup final.
