Slavia Prague president Jaroslav Tvrdík has claimed Scotland's Procurator Fiscal has finally dropped charges against Rangers star Glen Kamara and Czech racist defender Ondrej Kudela after 11 months - and he's urged the Ibrox club not to appeal the decision.
And the Czech club's chief will now attempt to persuade Kudela to abandon his final appeal at the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Switzerland where Kamara is due to be quizzed in person in April.
Slavia's 2-0 Europa League win last March at Ibrox was overshadowed after Kudela's clash with Rangers star Kamara and he was found guilty of racist abuse by UEFA and slapped with a ten-match ban, which he has taken up on appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
Additionally, a case of 'racially aggravated conduct' against the defender was submitted to the Procurator Fiscal after the veteran Czech was accused of shouting a discriminatory slur into Kamara's ear during the Last 16 clash at Ibrox.
Finnish international midfielder Kamara was also reported on a charge of assault.
Last April, the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service stated: "The Procurator Fiscal has received reports concerning a 25-year-old male and a 34-year-old-male and incidents said to have occurred on March 18 2021 in Glasgow.
"The reports remain under the consideration of the Procurator Fiscal.”
Tvrdik suggested earlier this month he was hoping the entire episode could soon be forgotten about and revealed the case had already cost his club north of £500,000 after they were forced to employ four different teams of lawyers, including two in Scotland.
And he's now revealed Scottish authorities have dropped the case.
He said: "The Scottish Procurator Fiscal has informed us they have decided it is not in the public interest to prosecute Kudela and Kamara.
"But there is an appeals process which we could use and so can Kamara.
"Ondrej has already agreed not to appeal and we have written to Rangers and we very much hope Glen Kamara agrees not to appeal it too.
"When this is over, I will sit down with Ondrej and try to persuade him to drop his appeal at the Court of Arbitration for Sport too.
"I will happily admit we are keen to end this episode as quickly as possible."
