THE racist attacks on Glasgow Rocks players are being investigated by police.
In a statement published last night, the professional basketball team revealed three players had to move homes following the racist abuse.
David Mpondo, Julius Van Sauers and Marc Kwedi were threatened, referred to as “monkeys”, made to feel watched and unwelcome and were harrased by calls to the police claiming that they had prostitutes in their property.
