Rangers winger stunned by racist abuse

Rangers goal hero DaMarcus Beasley tonight urged FIFA and UEFA to take action after he was subjected to racist taunts during the 1-0 victory over FK Zeta.

The home crowd targeted United States international Beasley and team-mate Jean-Claude Darcheville for abuse during the Champions League qualifier.

UEFA’s delegate at the match included the incident in his report and Zeta could face heavy punishment.

Former PSV Eindhoven winger Beasley, who hit the 81st-minute winner, said: “That’s something FIFA and UEFA must fight with, and solve.

“This is the 21st century, and we are still having trouble with it.

“That’s not normal, not just for us, black players, that’s not normal for all other normal people.

“I’ve faced that kind of situation throughout my whole career in Europe, not so much during my playing days in England, but even in Holland I’ve had similar problems.

“There, at PSV, the club’s management held meetings with me, trying to solve that together, but, things happened, especially at some European matches.”
