This comes after a handful of Rangers ex-players have asked fans to behave on social media ahead of final against Eintracht Frankfurt tomorrow.
Rangers last two European cup finals have been marred in violence. These include the 1972 European Cup Winners' Cup final victory over Dynamo Moscow.
The Gers were banned from European competition for a year after fans clashed with Spanish police on the Nou Camp pitch.
There were also violent scenes in Manchester city centre in 2008 after an estimated 200,000 fans travelled south ahead of Rangers' UEFA Cup final defeat by Zenit St Petersburg.
