Kamara makes no complaint of racism

FINNISH FA chiefs have revealed UEFA dropped their investigation into alleged racist abuse suffered by Glen Kamara because the Rangers midfielder did not want to make an official complaint.

The ibrox star was at the centre of another racism incident when he played for his country in a Nations League fixture in Montenegro this week and European football’s governing body ordered a probe.

Kamara was previously racially abused by Czech defender Ondrej Kudela during a Europa League game at ibrox in March last year, with the slavia Prague player subsequently handed a ten-match ban by UEFA.

however, Kamara has declined to comment further after it was alleged he suffered abuse from an unnamed Montenegrin player and, because of that, UEFA cannot investigate.

The Finnish FA stated: ‘Our team management and the players told the referee appointed by UEFA and the match delegate their views on the incident of racism in the match against Montenegro immediately after the match.

‘in the same context, the referee and the match delegate informed the

Finnish team management that the matter was known to them and taken into account.

‘in UEFA’s system, the initiation of an investigation requires the player’s confirmation or the player’s own notification of the matter or confirmation of the matter by other players, officials or referees.

‘Glen Kamara does not want to make an official announcement to UEFA or comment on the matter.

‘so the suspicion of racism does not progress to UEFA’s disciplinary investigation.’

Meanwhile, former Rangers manager Graeme Murty is in talks to take over as boss of sunderland Under-21s. The 47-year-old took charge of the ibrox side in season 2017-18, having stepped up from his role as head coach of the development squad.
