SFA must walk the talk against racism declares Kamara

 

Glen Kamara has called on Scottish football to take real action during a summit on racism.

With the Rangers midfielder on international duty with Finland, his lawyer, Aamer Anwar, represented him during Wednesday’s meeting, which was set up after he was subjected to alleged racist abuse from Slavia Prague player Ondrej Kudela.

Kamara has experienced further abuse on social media since the incident on March 18 and there were calls for easier ways of reporting such incidents to be set up during talks arranged by the SFA.

Anwar said in a statement: “Glen welcomed the summit, and expressed his gratitude to the many clubs, players and fans that have provided him with unconditional solidarity.

“Like many Black players, Glen said he now wants to see real action not just words or box-ticking exercises.

Rangers managing director Stewart Robertson told Sky Sports News the alleged racial abuse of midfielder Glen Kamara may be a tipping point for football authorities to impose stronger sanctions
