UEFA has rejected Rangers' appeal against Kemar Roofe's four-game ban for "dangerously assaulting" Slavia Prague goalkeeper Ondrej Kolar. The Czech keeper was left with a fractured skull, but Rangers appealed against Roofe's ban, claiming the punishment was "severe". However, in a statement on Monday UEFA said: "The appeal lodged by Rangers FC has been dismissed. Glen Kamara and his team-mates reacted with fury after the Gers midfielder was allegedly racially abused by Slavia defender Ondrej Kudela. Rangers have also appealed against that ban, but UEFA have yet to announce their decision.
