Police are investigating claims of racist abuse during the Rangers v Slavia Prague Europa League game.

The force confirmed on Tuesday that they had received a report regarding last week’s last-16 match, which Slavia won 2-0.

Rangers midfielder Glen Kamara said he was subjected to “vile” racist abuse by Slavia Prague midfielder Ondrej Kudela during the game, which the Czech club deny.

Officers are also investigating Slavia’s allegations that Kudela was assaulted at Ibrox.

A Police Scotland spokesman said: “We can confirm we are investigating incidents of alleged racial abuse and a reported assault following the match between Rangers and Slavia Prague at Ibrox on Thursday, March 18.

“Officers are liaising with both clubs and enquiries are continuing.”
