UEFA has investigated events surrounding the Rangers’ Europa League defeat against Sparta Prague last week.
European football’s governing body said it was probing “potential discriminatory incidents” during last Thursday’s group-stage match. Sparta fans were banned from the Letna Stadium following racist abuse of Monaco’s Aurelius Tchouameni in August. Still, around 10,000 schoolchildren were permitted to attend the 1-0 win over Rangers along with accompanying adults.
UEFA said: “In accordance with Article 31(4) of the UEFA Disciplinary Regulations, a UEFA Ethics, and Disciplinary Inspector has been appointed to conduct a disciplinary investigation regarding potential discriminatory incidents allegedly occurring during the 2021/22 UEFA Europa League group-stage match between AC Sparta Praha and Rangers FC played on 30 September 2021.
