SFA boss Ian Maxwell has offered his support to Glen Kamara following the racial abuse received by the midfielder last week.
The Rangers star reported a racist incident during his side's 2-0 defeat to Slavia Prague in the Europa League and the Ibrox club have been strong in their support for him.
And now the SFA have released a statement backing him and revealed Scotland players will stay standing in their World Cup qualifier with Austria as part of their anti-racism message.
The governing body have announced the quality and diversity advisory board have ‘redoubled’ their efforts and made new appointments in a bid to eradicate it from the game.
Livingston midfielder Marvin Bartley and Glasgow City’s Leanne Ross have both joined as advisors and will give help to the board.
And Maxwell said: “The incident involving Glen Kamara at Ibrox last week demonstrates that society and football still has a lot of work to do to eradicate racism.
“Scottish football’s response shows the commitment to change and EDAB exists to be an agency for change, bringing consensus from across the game on all matters of equality and diversity.
“After witnessing the scenes last Thursday, we contacted Rangers immediately through our equality team to offer our support and guidance through a range of services and we aim to continue that dialogue with any club directly affected by these issues.
“Scottish football has helped raise awareness of the issue of racism by taking the knee throughout the season but there is an acknowledgment that more needs to be done than a gesture of support, especially in the increasing scourge of racist abuse to players via social media.
“Through our EDAB discussions we will explore ways of implementing meaningful change with players at the centre of those discussions.”
