UEFA have opened disciplinary proceedings against Rangers after children ran onto the Ibrox pitch following their match against Borussia Dortmund.
Young fans were seen running towards various Rangers players in an attempt to get their shirts after the historic result last month.
The club have now said they will punish any parent who is seen assisting a child in entering the pitch area.
Players have also been instructed to not hand their shirts over to pitch invaders after matches.
A club statement read: "Rangers would like to remind fans that entering the field of play at any time is unacceptable and forbidden.
"The club have now been informed by UEFA that they have opened disciplinary proceedings after Thursday’s game v Borussia Dortmund due to children entering the pitch area.
"We have a zero-tolerance approach to those invading the pitch. In particular, any parent found to assist their child in entering the pitch area will be subject to club disciplinary policy.
"Our players have been advised that should not provide a shirt to any spectator entering the pitch area."
