AAMER ANWAR has labelled the abuse of Glen Kamara an 'embarrassment' after the Rangers midfielder was targeted during the Europa League defeat to Sparta Prague.

The Group A fixture was played in front of a crowd of 10,000 children after UEFA punished Prague for the racist abuse of Monaco star Aurelien Tchouameni during a Champions League clash earlier this season.

But questions will now be raised over the conduct of the home support after Kamara was jeered throughout the 1-0 defeat that leaves Steven Gerrard's side bottom of the table after two matches.

Kamara spoke bravely about the racist abuse that he received from Ondrej Kudela during the last 16 clash with Sparta's city rivals Slavia in March and he and Kemar Roofe were repeatedly targeted online in the aftermath of the shameful incident.

The Finnish internationalist was sent off for picking up two yellow cards at the Stadion Letna and his lawyer has hit out at the barrage of boos and jeers he was forced to endure throughout his time on the park.

A statement from Anwar read: “I had hoped when I heard of the stadium closure of Sparta Prague that both Glen and other black players wouldn’t have to put up with any abuse or racism and could just get on with playing football.

“But this evening should be an embarrassment for the Czech side that, despite their fans being banned, it still made little difference that the stadium was filled with 10,000 schoolchildren.

“A huge proportion of those children booed Glen’s every touch of the ball along with every other black player for Rangers. Tonight shows yet again that Prague has a serious problem with racism & as usual UEFA is nowhere to be seen.

“Glen and the Rangers players have shown total class, but no player should have to face this at their work and on the European stage.”
