UEFA has charged Rangers over an anti-woke banner displayed by supporters that the Scottish Premiership club have described as "shameful" and "embarrassing".
The message that was held by fans at Ibrox during Thursday's penalty shoot-out victory over Fenerbahce in the Europa League last 16, said: "Keep woke foreign ideologies out – defend Europe".
European football's governing body has described it as "racist and/or discriminatory", while Rangers said in a statement it was "deeply saddening and frankly embarrassing that the club is now set to face significant sanctions for the actions of a very small minority".

I'm probably gonna regret asking… but what does this even mean?
And presumably, if you identify as 'woke' then you are automatically offended?
They should really at least provide a compendium of 'woke foreign ideologies' that we can review and decide whether we like them or not. Rather than this blanket exclusion order.
More to the point, why couldn't fucking Uefa just ignore this as fan banter and high jinks? Who exactly is being targetted and is suffering discrimination here? The Wagner Group???
Or is that the point? Trump and Musk have now infiltrated the bad Bhoys of Ibrox...

Im woke, proud to be woke, proud to “be aware and empathetic of social injustices”
People against “woke” just hate minorities, equality and inclusion.
