‘I certainly believe him’ – Celtic hero reacts to Kamara’s statement regarding alleged racial abuse – originally posted on Sportslens.com
Rangers midfielder Glen Kamara was reportedly racially abused during the Scottish side’s Europa League clash against Slavia Prague during the midweek.
The Czech outfit have denied any such action from their player Ondrej Kudel since. The Slavia Prague player claims that he did swear at the Rangers midfielder but his remarks were not racist in nature.
Kamara is thought to be disappointed with the denial and lies coming out of the players’ camp and his club. The Rangers player has now sent out a statement through his solicitor on social media detailing the racial abuse he received.

It will be interesting to see how UEFA deal with the situation now.
Rangers manager Steven Gerrard seemed quite disappointed with the situation after the game and he has called for strict action against the Slavia Prague player.
Former Celtic striker John Hartson has also reacted to the situation on social media and he has revealed that he will support Glen Kamara and that racism should be dealt with more strictly in the game.
Let’s all support and get behind Glen Kamara.. I certainly believe him and it’s disgusting to see this is still happening on the field of play against a direct opponent. Everyone against racism. https://t.co/lD60yJbKaT

Rangers forward Kemar Roofe was subjected to racial abuse on Instagram after the game as well because of his tackle on the Slavia Prague goalkeeper which resulted in his sending off.
