The Glasgow club have also been charged for a separate bottle-throwing incident in the same game.
"Disciplinary proceedings have been opened following the UEFA Europa League group stage match between Rangers FC and Villarreal CF (0-0), played on November 29 in Scotland," a UEFA statement read.

"The case will be dealt with by the UEFA control, ethics and disciplinary body on December 13."

Rangers fan Paul Cairney, 26, admitted to running on to the pitch when pleading guilty to conducting himself in a disorderly manner at Glasgow Sheriff Court last week.
Another supporter, Nicholas Walker, 20, admitted assaulting a police officer during the match.
He pleaded guilty to throwing a glass bottle, which narrowly missed the police officer, from the crowd.
