"Not sure what hurt more: result last night or being racially abused by couple of our own fans as I'm getting in my car."

A spokesman for Strathclyde Police said "Officers are viewing CCTV footage and working with Rangers FC to trace the person responsible."

DaMarcus Beasley, Edu's Rangers and USA teammate, expressed his support, on his on his own Twitter site, saying: "What was said to Mo was not right. End of the day it's a game - and race has nothing to do about it. Sad, sad."
