The Russian FA tell fans to 'represent their country' after disruptive and alleged racist behaviour during the win over the Czech Republic on Friday.

The Russian Football Association has pleaded its fans to show more respect after disruptive behaviour on the opening day of Euro 2012.

UEFA announced yesterday that they were investigating the conduct of Russian fans.

Czech defender Theodor Gebre Selassie was allegedly the victim of monkey chants during Friday night's Group A game in Wroclaw, while fans were also filmed attacking stewards in a walkway at the Municipal Stadium.

A statement on the Russian FA website read: "We appeal to all fans who are in Poland. Remember that you represent your country. Respect yourself, your home and your team."

Russia, who emphatically beat the Czechs 4-1, next take on co-hosts Poland at the national stadium in Warsaw on Tuesday.
