Rangers have urged the club's supporters to behave in the "correct manner" during Sunday's Scottish Cup game against Aberdeen.
The message from the club comes after manager Steven Gerrard requested a section of supporters stop singing offensive chants about Kilmarnock manager Steve Clarke.
"Let's not give anyone a chance to criticise this great club, your club," Rangers said in a statement ahead of Sunday's game at Pittodrie.
"The majority of our supporters recognise that they are the club's ambassadors and that unacceptable behaviour has no place in our ranks.
"Let's go to Aberdeen determined to make sure that triumphs, like that wonderful 5-0 Scottish Cup replay win against Kilmarnock last week, are not downplayed because of negative headlines generated by unacceptable chants and songs.
