DaMarcus scored the lone goal in a 1-0 away leg win over FK Zeta, which puts Rangers through on a 3-0 aggregate. They will now play the winner of Red Star Belgrade and Tallinn (Estonia).
The Rangers website reveals that apparently a section of the Zeta faithful were directing monkey chants towards Beasley and Jean-Claude Darcheville. DMB is now calling for a UEFA probe on the matter - and he means business. How bad ass is it to score in the midst of that crap being thrown at you, it being your first start for the club, and you have a reputation for scoring goals in Champions League games?
"I heard the chants from the crowd. It happened to me a few years ago when PSV played Red Star in Belgrade and I can't believe that racist abuse is still in football.Beasley's strike was in the 81st minute and effectively destroyed the Montenegrin hopes. All I can say is - keep at it Run DMB."People can come to a match and boo and jeer but the racist thing just has to get out of football.
"We tried to take action against Red Star in that previous game. Guus Hiddink and me were involved but nothing really came of it.
"It sickens to hear these chants but when you are on the pitch you have to try to blank it out. It degrades the game for everyone.
"I will discuss the situation with Rangers because I feel strongly about it and we will decide if we should file a complaint."
