Former Cardiff City defender Jack Simpson (26) has been suspended for six matches and fined after he admitted using racist language towards a team mate, the English FA said on Thursday.
The incident took place during Cardiff's pre-season tour in Portugal. The former Rangers player left Cardiff in August and has since been a free agent.
Simpson was fined 8,000 pounds and will undergo "face-to-face education," the FA said in a statement.
"Jack Simpson admitted the charge against him, and his sanctions were imposed following a hearing," the FA added.
