Finland midfielder Glen Kamara says that he's happy with the support he's received from his team-mates and staff at the Finnish national team after he reported being racially abused last week.
Kamara is in Finland for the national team's World Cup qualifier against Bosnia-Herzegovina on Wednesday.
Before a press conference in Helsinki on Tuesday, the national team's press officer said that Kamara would not be answering questions about the incident, on legal advice.
"The support's been great so far and I'm thankful for it," said Kamara. "Can't really say much more but very happy with the support and I'm happy that everyone's stuck by me."
Kamara said last week that Slavia Prague midfielder Ondrej Kudela had covered his mouth, sworn and used a racist term, enraging the Rangers players and prompting supportive 'I stand with Glen' statements from clubs, fans and players across Scotland.
Kudela denies the charge, as does his club. Slavia fans posted pictures of themselves holding a racist banner directed at Kamara in the aftermath of the game.
"Full support"
On Monday Finland players donned 'I stand with Glen' t-shirts for a media event, stating they fully supported him.
"Racism doesn't belong in sport or anywhere else," said Norwich City striker Teemu Pukki on Monday. "It's a real shame this has happened. From what I know having gotten to know Glen, he would not react in that way unless something was really said."
"It's really wrong that this kind of thing happens and hopefully something will be done about it. It was big news in England and we talked about it in our team (Norwich) too," said Pukki.
Finland coach Markku Kanerva said the team was united behing Kamara, and that spoke to the group's togetherness.
"Yes, absolutely, one of the team's biggest strengths is team spirit, caring for and respecting each other in a fantastic way, in this case as well."
Kamara was also asked about his contract at Rangers, after his manager Steven Gerrard had urged the club to tie him down.
"There's been some talks," said Kamara. "Yeah, the season's been good, obviously we've just become champions. It's been a success so far. I still have two years left on my contract and there's still time over the summer to see what will happen."
