UEFA to probe racist chants
UEFA have launched an investigation into the racist chants during Rangers’ Champions League victory over FK Zeta in Montenegro last night.
Rangers winger DaMarcus Beasley and striker Jean-Claude Darcheville were subjected to taunts by the home fans during the second leg of the second qualifying round tie in Podgorica.
USA international Beasley scored the only goal of the game in the 81st minute to earn the Gers a 3-0 aggregate victory.
UEFA director of communications William Gaillard said: “We haven’t yet received the report from our delegate but we have enough circumstantial evidence to begin our investigation.
“Our policy is zero tolerance against racism.
“The control and disciplinary body is an independent commission and it is for them to decide, but it is one of our priorities to eradicate this, it is a major concern.”
Gaillard did not have an official timeframe for the investigation but added: “It will be quick, in the next couple of weeks probably.”
