UEFA has opened disciplinary proceedings into allegations of racist behaviour from Lazio fans against Stade Rennais last week.

That is because UEFA is probing the Aquile for alleged racist chanting from the stands.

The capital club have a history of incidents in European fixtures, while their President Claudio Lotito recently courted controversy for referring to white skin as “normal skin”.
