Slavia Prague defender Ondrej Kudela has been banned for 10 matches by UEFA after being found guilty of racist behaviour towards Rangers player Glen Kamara.
The Finn was incensed after Kudela whispered into his ear during a Europa League tie at Ibrox on March 18.
Kudela had been handed a provisional one-match ban over a lesser charge of insulting Kamara, and that ban is included within the overall 10-match sanction.

Kamara has also been banned for three matches after being found guilty of assaulting Kudela in the tunnel after the game.
Kamara claimed Kudela called him a “f****** monkey”, something Kudela denied.
Kamara’s account was supported by Rangers team-mate Bongani Zungu and UEFA’s control, ethics and disciplinary body (CEDB) has now found Kudela guilty of using racist language.
The body’s full written reasons will be published at a later stage, and both sanctions are open to appeal.
