Rangers investigate alleged Edu racist abuse

Scottish Premier League club Rangers have confirmed they are investigating alleged racist abuse towards United States international midfielder Maurice Edu after their Champions League defeat to Unirea Urziceni on Tuesday.

The 23-year-old played no part in the 4-1 Group G defeat to the Romania side but watched the match at Ibrox and said on social networking site Twitter that he was targeted by his own club's supporters as he left the stadium.

Edu had written a message on his Twitter feed which said: "Not sure what hurt more: result last nite or being racially abused by couple of our own fans as I'm getting in my car."

"Donovan was excellent. We knew he was a good player, but he really didn't do anything wrong in the whole game and made it difficult for us."
- Xavi
