UEFA have opened an investigation into last week's Europa League clash between Sparta Prague and Rangers.

European football's governing body will probe alleged "discriminatory incidents" at last week's Group A tie, which finished 1-0 to the home side.

Light Blues midfielder Glen Kamara was repeatedly booed on his every touch by the 10,000-strong crowd in the Czech capital - which mainly consisted of school children.

Kamara was the victim of racist abuse when Rangers came up against Slavia Prague in the last-16 stage of last season's tournament.

Ondrej Kudela was handed a 10-match ban after being found guilty of the comments aimed at the Finland international.

The midfielder was jeered on his return to Prague last Thursday, which has received wide-condemnation.

He was later sent off in the match after picking up two yellow cards, seemingly sparking further abuse.

The Ibrox side wrote to UEFA last week to make an official complain regarding the matter. 

Slavia then hit back at those slamming their fans - telling those to "leave their kids alone."

The Czech Foreign Minister has even weighed in, seeking a meeting with the British Ambassador to solve the situation.

Now, UEFA have launched a probe, although they have not revealed the full details of the investigation as yet.

A UEFA statement reads: "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.

"Information on this matter will be made available in due course."
