Kemar Roofe has been suspended four games by UEFA following his red card against Slavia Prague which left goalkeeper Ondrej Kolar with a fractured skull.
The goalkeeper collided with Roofe with the Rangers striker's boot smashing into his opponent's face.
The gruesome injury has left Kolar needing to wear protective head gear for the rest of his career. Roofe was shown a red card but has now been banned four matches. The Ibrox outfit, for their part in the unsavoury scenes that evening, have also been slapped with a €9,000 fine by European football's governing body.
They have been handed the fine for breaching Article 15(4), where five or more players were found to have been guilty of improper conduct.
The club has 90 days to make the payment.
It came on a night of high drama when Glen Kamara was allegedly racially abused by Ondrej Kudela.
Slavia Prague vehemently deny their player called Kamara a "f***ing monkey" as accused and went on to allege that Kamara PUNCHED his opponent in the tunnel at full-time.
