Sparta Prague fans handed Rangers trip safety warning as Czech government issue 'aggravated situation' advice

Sparta Prague fans are being warned against travelling to Glasgow for the Europa League clash with Rangers.

Midfielder Glen Kamara was targeted by fans throughout the group stage clash by the 10,000 crowd of school children.

It follows vile abuse received from Slavia Prague defender Ondrej Kudela when the sides faced off last season in Europe.

The fallout from the latest shocking incident in the Czech capital has seen the government weigh in heavily in proceedings.

Hamáček stated that the Home Office are contacting the Scottish Government to request special security measures are put in place for those who do travel.

However, his advice is to avoid the trip altogether.

The politician told Isport : "We have taken steps that should lead to an increase in the security of Czech citizens in Scotland.

"I expect Sparta Prague fans to want to support the team. I would like to encourage them to consider their visit to Scotland and think carefully due to the aggravated situation after the first game between both teams.

"In a letter, I also addressed the Scottish Home Secretary and asked him to pay attention to the security of Czech citizens in Scotland.

"They can be fans, tourists, but also people on business trips."
