Slavia Prague have claimed furious Rangers players "attacked" Ondrej Kudela in the Ibrox tunnel after an alleged racist comment towards Glen Kamara.
In a bombshell statement, Slavia have accused the Finland international of punching the man who left him incensed at the end of the match.
The Czech international was seen covering his mouth and saying something to Kamara during the Europa League clash, sparking an outraged reaction from the Rangers players.
Manager Steven Gerrard confirmed after the game that Kamara had reported a racist comment and made clear he believed his player and would back him to the hilt.
But the Slavia camp denied the charge, with Rangers boss Gerrard and his opposite number Jindrich Trpisovsky exchanging words long after the final whistle.
And it appears that tensions were running high behind the scenes as the Czech champions revealed police were called after an alleged flashpoint in the tunnel.
A club statement said: "The players of Slavia in the match faced an unprecedented insidious game of the opponent, which they have not experienced in the history of modern European football.
"A series of brutal interventions by the opponent ended with an injury to our players, the goalkeeper Ondřej Kolář ended with 10 stitches on his face and a concussion in the hospital.
"After the match, the team was not allowed into the cabins and Ondřej Kúdela was cowardly beaten with fists in the face by player Kamara without warning in the presence of coach Steven Gerrard.
"The UEFA representatives, who were personally present at the whole incident, were also shocked. The team is now safe at the hotel under Scottish police supervision."
President Jaroslav Tvrdik wrote on Twitter: "Slavia categorically denies that the player Ondrej Kudela racially insulted the opposition player in any way.
"We are shocked that our player was physically attacked after the game.
"At the request of Slavia, the incident was resolved by the local police. We would like to see a detailed investigation of the whole situation by UEFA."
