And they have also blocked the ENTIRE supporters’ bus from receiving tickets for future matches.

A club statement read: “Rangers can confirm that an investigation is now complete in regard to a video circulating on social media yesterday.

“The individuals involved have been identified and will be banned indefinitely from all Rangers games.

“Furthermore, the RSC of which they were members and travelled with to the game, have been banned from receiving tickets for future fixtures.”

The news comes as Kyogo broke his silence over the sickening abuse earlier this afternoon.

The Light Blues yesterday launched a probe after yobs were filmed singing a bigoted song about Celtic’s new Japanese star.

The footage, which has been shared widely online, has disgusted fans from both Glasgow clubs.

And Kyogo today sent out his appreciation from the outpouring of support he has received, saying simply on Instagram: “I’ll never walk alone 🙏💚 #NoToRacism.”

It’s understood a Rangers fan who is alleged to have chanted about the striker has apologised and stepped down from an East Kilbride supporters’ club.

Posting on the Westwood Rangers Supporters’ Club Whatsapp group, he wrote: “Just want to apologise to every member of the bus not acceptable behaviour.

“I’ve stepped down from the committee and won’t be back on the bus.

“Club deserve so much better and I wish bus nothing but success. Again, I’m sorry.”
