The United States midfielder Maurice Edu has claimed he was racially abused by Rangers fans after last night's Champions League defeat by Unirea Urziceni.

Edu, 23, who played no part in the 4-1 Group G defeat but watched the match at Ibrox, says he was targeted by his own club's supporters as he left the stadium.

Edu wrote via Twitter: "Not sure what hurt more: result last nite or being racially abused by couple of r own fans as I'm getting in my car."

Edu joined Rangers for £2.6m from Toronto FC in August 2008, and complained of racist abuse soon after signing, suggesting that Celtic fans had sent him offensive messages via Twitter.

Edu wrote: "It's sad n embarrassing that people follow me so they can write racist comments. SMH [shaking my head]. It's '09, people, let's grow up n mature a lil bit."

What was the result of the match

Lost 4-1.

Fingers crossed there will be at anfield, but no, not really.

Was under the impression the team theu played were the weakest in the group stages, nailed on they would win, apparently!

So much for the argument to let them into the PL or Championship.

Is that 2 4-1 home losses in a row at home?

Not sure. Just think it's bad form to racially abuse your own players tbh. Nothing suprises me with those people though. They are a lower class of human.

To racially abuse anyone really. Agree the people who did it are utter scum.

Would be interested to see how weeman spins this.

They should have to qualify really. Can't undestand why they don't

Careful. you will upset the man with half and half scarf and then Celts will join in, could be a long day.

And yes they are scum as are Celtic fans.

Not getting in the middle of you two, so to speak. I'm out.

To be fair it's no different to the abuse Giggs get's off Rosie the Red

An explanation wouldn't go amiss though.

He also makes reference to Celtic fans doing same via Twitter unless I am mis-reading something.

Wouldn't want either of them anywhere near the premier league.
