A Sunday newspaper claims video footage posted on the internet shows Rangers football fans chanting sectarian abuse in Spain last week.
A spokesman for Rangers said the club would be discussing all aspects of the Uefa Cup Osasuna game with supporters at a meeting on Tuesday.
The YouTube clip apparently showed fans in a near empty stadium chanting an offensive slogan to a Tina Turner song.
The Sunday Mail claims it was shot in Pamplona last Wednesday.
Dozens of fans in Rangers shirts were seen punching the air as the song is sung. The video has since been taken off YouTube.
The side went out of the Uefa cup last week after losing to Osasuna.
After the match, Rangers complained of a lack of segregation in the stadium and of heavy-handed policing.
Last season Rangers was fined £13,000 by Uefa for sectarian singing during a Champions League match in Spain and warned about its future conduct.
A spokesman said: "The club remains committed to combating and eradicating sectarianism and has a wide range of measures in place to help achieve these objectives."

I was a season ticket holder with Rangers for 6 years and had to give it up due to work last year but I'll say this I hope that UEFA close Ibrox or 1 or 2 of the stands for european games and/or hit us with a major fine as it will be the only thing to get through to these scum who call themselves fans. Each Champions League or UEFA Cup game is worth around £1million in gate receipts alone. I'm sick of all the bigoted and sectarian bull shit that goes on at games as it is a minority who are dragging Rangers through the dirt and taking the spotlight away from the football.
