Connor Goldson receives unacceptable racist abuse as Rangers defender targeted after Red Star Belgrade win

Rangers defender Connor Goldson has been the target of racist abuse following the Europa League aggregate win over Red Star Belgrade.

Goldson was a key member of the backline at the Marakana as Gio van Bronckhorst's side sealed a spot in the quarter-final stage.

The 29-year-old was involved in a post-match row with the Red Star players as the home side reacted angrily to the post-match celebrations.

But he has now been targeted on social media by vile trolls.

At the start of the season the defender posted a pic from the Marakana stadium with the caption: "New season, new goals! Its work time!"

However, an account under the name @nemac_7 has now commented in Serbian slurs including the phrases "black s****" and "monkey."

It's not the first time Ibrox stars have received unacceptable abuse by online racists following a Europa League clash.

Both Kemar Roofe and Glen Kamara were targeted following last season's Europa League clash with Slavia Prague.
