UEFA opens case against Rangers UEFA has opened a case against Rangers over alleged discriminatory chanting by its fans during the Europa League match against PSV Eindhoven at Ibrox last month, European soccer's ruling body said Thursday. A UEFA spokesman said the case would be discussed by its control and disciplinary committee in Nyon on April 28. In a strongly-worded statement on their website, the Scottish club said it would “vigorously” defend iself against the charge, claiming it has been unfairly singled out. “We are utterly dismayed to be informed by UEFA that it is to take disciplinary action against the club” Rangers chief executive Martin Bain said. “We will defend the club's position vigorously at the hearing. Our position regarding sectarian and offensive singing has been made clear time and again — we condemn it and those who indulge in it only damage the interests of the club. We have worked closely with our supporters groups to try to deal with this issue and believe that few other clubs make as big an effort to tackle anti-social behavior.”
