Ross County FC are investigating the racial abuse of goalkeeper Jordan Amissah following the club’s 2-1 win over Aberdeen.
The 23-year-old German, who is originally from Ghana, shared a picture on Instagram of monkey emojis and racial slurs he received from an anonymous account.
Amissah accompanied it with the caption: “There are people out there with no brains and too much time on their hands.”
The club said it was “aware of the racial abuse” Amissah received after Thursday’s match and stood by the player.
Ross County said in a statement: “The club fully supports Jordan and will contact the relevant authorities to assist our investigation.”
The club added that it did not know the source of the Instagram messages and there was nothing to suggest the comments were made by an Aberdeen supporter.
Former Sheffield United keeper Amissah has joined County last month on a short term contract after regular number one Ross Laidlaw was sidelined due to injury.
He has started the Staggies’ last three games, a run in which they have taken seven points from a possible nine to remain in the bottom two of the Premiership.
