Slavia Prague's Ondrej Kudela, the player at the centre of a racism storm being investigated by both police and UEFA, will miss Thursday's Europa League clash with Arsenal.
UEFA has handed the Czech defender a one-match 'provisional suspension' as they conclude their investigation into allegations he called Rangers player Glen Kamara a 'f****** monkey' during a fiery match at Ibrox in the round of 16 last month.
However, Slavia had earlier announced that Kudela was set to miss the quarter-final, first leg meeting at the Emirates Stadium through illness and injury anyway.
Both Police Scotland and UEFA are looking into the allegations with Kamara's lawyer saying he expected the former to question Kudela when he returned to the UK for the game this week.
