Rangers crashed to a humiliating 6-0 defeat over in Belgium and were dumped out of the competition with a 9-1 scoreline on aggregate.
It wasn’t a fiery affair on the pitch, but it certainly was in the stands as Gers supporters produced a wild pyro display before kick-off in Bruges.
And that display has now punished the club, with the suspended away fan ban now implemented.
