Beasley seals Rangers progress

08 January 2007
The American, who played in the semi-finals of this competition for PSV Eindhoven two years ago, lashed a 20-yard shot past FK Zeta goalkeeper Sasa Ivanovic in the 81st minute to extend Rangers' aggregate lead to 3-0 after last week's victory at Ibrox.
Beasley and team-mate Jean-Claude Darcheville had earlier experienced some racist taunting from the home crowd on a night which was otherwise apparently trouble-free for Rangers.
After a quiet start, the first threat came from Slaven Stjepanovic down the left, but Broadfoot dealt well with the danger, before Lee McCulloch shot well wide from 25 yards in the ninth minute, before Beasley shot just wide from 20 yards.
Cetkovic wriggled past three defenders and set up Bojan Ivanovic for a low shot which McGregor had to get down quickly to gather.
Miroslav Kaludjerovic made a last-ditch challenge to deny Darcheville as the Frenchman threatened just before the break.
Djurovic was booked in the fourth minute of the second half for a reckless challenge on McCulloch, sliding in near the halfway line after the ball had gone.
The hosts made their first change in the 56th minute when the injured Djurovic was replaced by Ivan Knezevic. Zarko Korac wasted a decent chance to halve Rangers' lead when he headed over the bar from eight yards.
Beasley netted the only goal of the night in the 81st minute, darting in off the left flank and drilling a low right-footed shot just inside the left post.
