Rangers have been hit by a Uefa fine as a result of the improper behaviour of some of their supporters in Romania.

The charge relates to the Gers' UEFA Champions League meeting with Unirea Urziceni in Bucharest on 4th November.

Television pictures from that game captured away supporters clashing with local police in the stands, while one fan was seen ripping out a seat.

Rangers later accused their Romanian hosts of failing to organise the event in a proper fashion, with the trouble a direct result of their inefficiency.

Uefa agree that Unirea were partially to blame for the unsavoury events and have charged them 8,000 euros (£7,195) for displaying a lack of organisation.

Rangers, though, must pay a 20,000 euros fine (£17,988) and have also been ordered to cover the cost of the damage caused to the Steaua Stadium.
