Rangers have charged with the improper conduct of their supporters following the disturbances during the Champions League match against Unirea Urziceni.
The case will be dealt with by UEFA's control and disciplinary body next Thursday.
European football's governing body had been awaiting their official delegate's report before deciding what action to take over the supporter unrest which marred last night's 1-1 Group G draw in Bucharest.
Television pictures showed a number of Rangers fans clashing with Romanian police in the stands, while one supporter was seen to rip out a seat.
Police used CS gas spray during what Rangers Supporters Assembly chief Andy Kerr last night described as a "minor incident".
Responding to the charge, chief executive Martin Bain said: "We have been informed by UEFA that disciplinary proceedings have been instigated in relation to the throwing of missiles and crowd disturbances.
"As already stated, I am not for a moment condoning the action of some supporters to the unfolding of events within the stadium.
"But, as a club, the preparations which were agreed and insisted upon in advance were not adhered to and this in turn we feel jeopardised the safety of our supporters."
Reiterating his belief that over-zealous policing was partly to blame for the trouble, Bain added: "We are fully aware of the indiscriminate use of CS gas and the difficulties experienced by our fans accessing the stadium.
"All these factors will be presented fully by the club to UEFA in our submission."

Hello azalea, before you get your pack to vote this down, there are a few points I would like to make about your semi-literate nonsense in the post below.
Spelling IE English/US, a criticism of yours, have a look at how to spell fantasise, you use a zzzzzzz.
Mr Hodgies? what the heck is that? (where does the i come into it) I am not even going near the rest of the manure of your text.
Solicitor (oh you fwighten, fwighten me), I couldn't quite figure out the context to which you were referring, judging by the rest of the incomprehensible drivel you probably meant solicit. If you did refer to legal recourse then flag it up and I will be more than happy to take it on, but you and I both know that, as with most of your BOMBAST, it is empty and worthless.
I'm sorry that you are intimidated by my use of language, perhaps if you had listened to what the English teacher Mr O' Callaghan said, instead of lusting after him, you would also be able to compose something resembling comprehensible instead of your polluting garbage.
PS To others, please don't fall for this clowns fanfare to the common man; he, and the rest of his rabid band are bullies who love to roam around these sites giving, sometimes, the appearance of reason and objectivity but believe me they are charlatans who react in horror when they are confronted by someone who is not intimidated by their feeble front.

rangers..th swine flu of fitba!
a tangent to what exactly? pull your head out of your own ar-se and talk some sense, if that is in any way possible
Gents,
Not for the first time you have let me down. Your combined response was less than I expected. You, dex, being more intelligent that the others, should not have gone off at a tangent (second time that you have done this).
Please improve your response Rating 4/10
#30 You couldn't take on a fish supper, you're typical of your breed, throw bile about without the slightest incline of what your talking about, wait 'til everyone has gone for the night, and declare a victory in their abscence. Well you're stuffed tonight, because I'll be working for a couple of hours yet, and if you're looking for a battle of wit, your beaten before you start, because you're only half armed.
Deafening silence,
A group of thugs, ferile dogs, or any other types of bullies go all guiet when somebody takes then on and they don't have the back-up of others.
now the silence is deafening!
#25 you're just typical of the idiots with the hive mentality who have dragged your club down. If you really want to do a bit of research into what goes on, and who spanks whom with what, google 'Kincora Scandal', that should keep you busy for a wee while.
Deafening silence
# 25 aye right what ever you say gerry
Point 20 (below) from azalea
Your obvious infatuation with me must go unrequited. I will, however, give you some confidential advice. Whenever you wish to "spank the bishop", or in your case, "get shafted by the priest", if the good wife is not around then I will use various substitutes, in my case it would tend to be thoughts of Kelly Brook, Ashley Judd, Emma Crosby, or fifteen thousand, five hundred and sixty three similar babes (and counting). You, however have a fixation with either me or some celtic supporting clown of the daily rebel. I can't help you any further, have you thought about rejoining your priests choir or signing up for the Vatican Guard.
# 23 mash...yeah they are already watching the videos of the cup winners final in 1972 right lads barca polis done this and that but we'll just get steamed right into them
The Rangers game in Sevilla will be the final nail in the coffin..........The Spanish Guardia will are already waiting for them

#15 sean.....better watch or rangers 130 will be on here to riddle you with his GEERY MCNEE words, infact i think 130 is gerry mcnee in disguise.
