Ross County FC is investigating the racial abuse of goalkeeper Jordan Amissah following the club’s 2-1 win away to Aberdeen.<\/p>\n
The 23-year-old German, who is of Ghanaian descent, shared a image on Instagram of monkey emojis and racial slurs he received from an anonymous account. <\/p>\n
Amissah accompanied it with the caption: “Still some people out there with no brain and too much time on their hands.”<\/p>\n
The club said it was “aware of racial abuse” received by Amissah after Thursday’s match and was backing the player.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Ross County said in a statement: “The club stand fully in support of Jordan and will be contacting the relevant authorities to assist with our investigation.”<\/p>\n
The club added that it did not know the origin of the Instagram messages and that there was nothing to suggest the comments were made by an Aberdeen supporter. <\/p>\n
Former Sheffield United keeper Amissah joined County last month on a short-term contract<\/a> after regular number one Ross Laidlaw was sidelined by injury.<\/p>\n He has started the Staggies’ past three games, a run in which they took seven points from a possible nine to remain out of the bottom two of the Premiership.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
