Ondrej Kudela's final appeal against his racism ban will be heard next month as the Slavia Prague defender heads to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, 10 months on from the Rangers incident.
After being found by UEFA of abusing Finland midfielder Glen Kamara in the sides' Europa League second leg, Kudela was slapped with a minimum 10-game suspension, which ruled him out of the Czech Republic's entire Euro 2020 campaign.
UEFA threw out the initial attempt to clear his name after gathering verbal evidence.
But Kudela refused to drop the matter and the Swiss-based CAS have now set a date.
In a list of upcoming cases, the CAS has scheduled 'Ondrej Kudela v UEFA' for January 21.
Kudela put forward his appeal to the Swiss beaks in June, but a date has only now been confirmed. Kudela's lawyer Rene Cienciala said: "We have started international sports arbitration against UEFA and proceedings are now being transferred to the Swiss Court of Arbitration for Sport in Lausanne.
"Now we are waiting for the establishment of a panel of arbitrators and the submission of a comprehensive defence of the client."
As well as Kudela's ban, Kamara was suspended for three games and Rangers striker Kemar Roofe was also banned for four matches too, after Slavia keeper Ondrej Kolar suffered a fractured skull in a challenge during the game.
The Ibrox club was fined 9,000 euros for failing to control their players.
