Ondrej Kudela hit with 10 game ban as Rangers star Glen Kamara suspended for three

Slavia Prague defender Ondrej Kudela has been hit with a 10 game ban for racially abusing Rangers star Glen Kamara.

The Czech defender had proclaimed his innocence but has now been hit with the lengthy ban for calling Kamara a 'f***ing monkey' during the game at Ibrox last month.

Kamara himself has been handed a three game ban for assaulting Kudela following the match.

Slavia had strongly defended their player in recent weeks but will now have to face up to the fact their player has been hit with a 10 game ban.

Speaking about the incident last week, Kamara said: “He came over and he said what he said, ‘You’re a f***ing monkey and you know you are’.

“From there I reacted and said ‘He’s racist, he’s racist’. My team-mate heard it. I had a lot of emotions going through my mind. I was angry, upset - I felt humiliated.

"All my family, friends, fans, whoever was watching, I was taken back a lot and I felt like a little boy. It was a really weird feeling."

"If I could go back to the time of the game I'd walk off the pitch, 100 per cent.\

“This type of thing shouldn’t be in the game. It’s the every day life thing. I don’t know if in our life we will ever see it change, but if I can make a change in some way I’ll do it.

"The manager was actually trying to get me off the pitch, but like I said I was on my own on the pitch and I couldn't hear anyone. All my emotions were different and I wasn't listening."
