SFA initiates investigation into race discrimination claims

The Scottish FA has initiated an investigation into race discrimination claims made by Rico Quitongo against his former club, Airdrieonians FC.

We are aware that an employment tribunal claim has been raised by the player, supported by PFA Scotland and the Equality and Human Rights Commission, and await the outcome of that tribunal.

The Scottish FA condemns all forms of racist and discriminatory behaviour. Indeed, our Equality Vision states that “everybody should have the opportunity to participate in football at all levels, and that no individual should be discriminated against”.
