UEFA has opened disciplinary proceedings against Rangers midfielder Glen Kamara and Slavia Prague's Ondrej Kudela after investigating racism claims.

A UEFA statement added: "Further information about this case will be made available once the UEFA Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body has taken a decision in due course."

Police Scotland are also investigating the allegations against Kudela and Slavia filed a criminal complaint against Kamara.
