UEFA have opened Disciplinary proceedings against Glen Kamara over events at the Europa League defeat from Slavia Prague.
The Czech side won 2-0 after a bad tempered tie that saw Steven Gerrard’s side reduced to nine men with Kemar Roofe and Leon Balogun red carded.
Slavia made a number of allegations about events after the match ranging from being locked out of the dressing room to an attack on Ondrej Kudela witnessed by Steven Gerrard.
Through the Czech Embassy in London a complaint was registered with Police Scotland but this afternoon UEFA announced:
Following an investigation conducted by a UEFA Ethics and Disciplinary Inspector regarding the incidents that occurred during the 2020/21 UEFA Europa League Round of 16 second leg match between Rangers FC and SK Slavia Praha on 18 March 2021, proceedings have been opened against Mr. Ond?ej Kúdela in order for the UEFA Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body (CEDB) to assess a potential violation of Article 14(1) or Article 15(1)(a)(iv) of the UEFA Disciplinary Regulations (DR) and against Mr. Glen Kamara in order for the CEDB to assess a potential violation of Article 15(1)(g) DR.
In accordance with Article 49 DR, the CEDB today decided to provisionally suspend Mr. Ond?ej Kúdela for the next (1) UEFA club competition match for which he would otherwise be eligible for the prima facie violation of Article 15(1)(a)(iv) DR, without prejudice to any ruling that the CEDB may subsequently make on the alleged violation of Article 14(1) DR.
Further information about this case will be made available once the CEDB has taken a decision in due course.
