GLEN Kamara says a player who allegedly abused him should be banned for at least "one year" as he welcomed a police probe into the incident. 

The Rangers star has called the alleged remarks from Slavia Prague defender Ondrej Kudela "deeply offensive, provocative, and racist" and insisted the Czech club should face disciplinary action. 

The Finn claims he was called "a f***ing monkey" during Thursday's Europa League match at Ibrox and police today confirmed they were investigating the comments.

Slavia have denied the allegations - insisting their player said "you f***ing guy" - but Kamara has been backed by his manager Steven Gerrard and his teammates.

Glasgow Times:

A separate police investigation is underway into allegations of an assault in the aftermath of the match while UEFA, the governing body, is looking into both. 

In a statement issued through lawyer Aamer Anwar, Kamara, 25, said: "Glen welcomes the Police investigation into the racist abuse of him by Mr. Kudela.

"Police Scotland officers will now require to question Mr. Kudela, when he returns next month to play Arsenal on April 8.

"There can be no justification for Mr. Kudela’s deeply offensive, provocative and racist language in a game of football game taking place in 2021.

"A UEFA investigation is now also underway with which Glen will be fully cooperating with.

"Article 14 of UEFA disciplinary regulations gives  UEFA the power to take robust disciplinary action  against Mr. Kudela if he is found guilty.

"On this occasion ban of ten matches for Mr. Kudela will not suffice, he should at the very least be banned for a minimum of one year and Slavia Prague who remain in denial should face consequences, including deduction  of points and/or disqualification from the competition.”

A statement from Police Scotland said: “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, 2021.

"Officers are liaising with both clubs and enquiries are continuing."
