"UEFA are set to fine Rangers about £25,000 but may resist forcing the temporary closure of parts of Ibrox when European football's governing body meets today to censure the club over inappropriate conduct by supporters, including sectarian chanting. UEFA have compiled a body of evidence against Rangers, including TV footage of fans' prejudiced singing during two recent Champions League matches against Villarreal in Glasgow and Spain and will almost certainly find the club guilty when their Control and Disciplinary Body meets in Nyon near Geneva this afternoon."
In 2005, Rangers made a profit of over £12 million on a turnover of over £50 million. A fine of £25,000 is not material in financial terms.
