THE alleged racist abuse towards Glen Kamara is being reviewed by a UEFA disciplinary inspector.
Rangers midfielder Kamara alleges that Ondrej Kudela called him “a f****** monkey” during Rangers’ defeat to Slavia Prague in the Europa League last week.
Slavia insist that Kudela called Kamara a “f****** guy” and claim that Kudela was assaulted after the match at Ibrox. Police Scotland today confirmed that they will investigate the alleged racist abuse.
UEFA’s investigation into the incident is also ongoing, here’s how the process is undertaken.
Who inspects the incident?
There are 20 inspectors across Europe, led by chief inspector Chris Georghiades.
These inspectors must be impartial and not belong to any other UEFA committee.
The inspector who will investigate the incidents at Ibrox is not named by UEFA, to protect his identity.
You can find a full list of the inspectors here.
What do they do?
It is the role of the inspector to investigate the events of an incident in strict accord with UEFA statutes, rules, and regulations.
By piecing together all the claims they receive from an incident, it is their job to make a judgment call.

The disciplinary inspector will submit a report after their investigation has been concluded which states whether a UEFA rule has been violated.
If a rule has been breached the inspector can then open disciplinary proceedings.
UEFA's Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body must then decide if a rule has been breached and determine the punishment.
