The Czech Republic's biggest star, Tomas Soucek, has turned up the heat ahead of his team's trip to Hampden on Monday by condemning international team-mate Ondrej Kudela's ten-match ban as 'absurd'.
Slavia Prague defender Kudela missed out on the Euros after being found guilty of racially abusing Rangers midfielder Glen Kamara during their last-16 Europa League clash at Ibrox.
Clearly infuriated by his fellow Czech's lengthy suspension, West Ham playmaker Soucek has now reignited the row just days before his country's opening group clash with Scotland by claiming Kudela was harshly treated.
