*** WARNING: SICKENING ARTICLE***
POLICE were today scouring CCTV footage in a bid to find a fan who racially abused Rangers midfielder Maurice Edu.
The club has made an official report on behalf of the United States international over the incident, following the Light Blues' shock Champions League defeat by Unirea Urziceni at Ibrox.
Edu, who is recovering from a knee injury and watched the 4-1 loss from the stands, was targeted by one of his own club's supporters as he got into his car.
The 23-year-old went public with the abuse on his Twitter feed yesterday, writing: "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."
The incident, which happened in a school car park opposite Ibrox, which used by players on matchdays, has now been reported to Strathclyde Police and an investigation has been launched.
A spokesman said: "Strathclyde Police has received a complaint regarding an incident where racial abuse was directed at a Rangers football player.
"A man, who was accompanied by another man shouted abuse at the player within the school car park in Hinshelwood Drive, Ibrox.
"Police officers are currently viewing CCTV footage and working with Rangers Football Club to trace the person responsible."
Police also urged witnesses to contact Helen Street police station.

The religious yo yos are out in force this morning.
Why are you posting an article that is a few weeks old? Another case of "There fans are poor worse than us" bs.
Would be easy for me to pull on a Man Utd shirt and stand outside Old Trafford racially abusing Patrice Evra.
oh, sorry, my mistake
although to be fair, it is important to keep issues like this on the agenda, we would not want to see them swept under the carpet

yea of course, there are some other things that shouldn't be swept under the carpet either - BJK
No it's just funny someone posts some crap about a section of the Celtic fans then this pops up, petty nonsense.

If this kind of crap this morning is what we'll have to put up with I'll be joining Phil Collins in getting the first plane out if these knuckle-dragging, kiddie-messing, racialist thugs join the Premier League.
Typical point scoring thread. People in glass houses though.
What monsieur p forgets to mention is that Maurice Edu was racially abused and threatened with his life by CELTIC fans on the same Twitter page. Police also investigated this
AND
that the single worst incident of racial abuse happened at CELTIC park when Rangers player Mark Walters made his debut. Hundreds of bananas were thrown on to the pitch by CELTIC fans. Youtube video footage is available for this for anyone thinking it's made up.
