One man, 39 year-old Ryan Baird from Sanquhar, was killed and 18 others were injured.
Warburton visited a number of the club members at a local pub in the town on Tuesday 4th October along with the Assistant Manager and two first team players.
Another 4 players also went to Crosshouse Hospital near Kilmarnock where 2 people who were on the bus are still recovering from their injuries.
A post on the club's says, "These visits have been valuable in helping our members, especially the youngsters, start to come to terms with what has happened. Rangers Directors have been in touch with us & the family daily. The Nith Valley Loyal & our community will never forget what they've done for us."
It comes as Singer Rod Stewart donates cash to a fund set up.
The music star - who is also a Celtic supporter - contributed to the fundraising drive in memory of Ryan Baird after getting in touch with former Rangers captain Richard Gough.
Mr Gough told the Evening Times: "As soon as it happened Rod got in touch with me and said as soon as a fund was set up I was to let him know. Which I did.
"He made a contribution, which is fantastic, which I have thanked him for. He is a good man.''
In Rod's message to Mr Gough, he said: "At sad times like this we are one big football loving family. RS(Celtic).''
