Rangers ease into Champions League third qualifying round07.08.2007 23:01 SportsBy Julien Pretot PARIS (Reuters) - Scottish runners-up Glasgow Rangers eased into the Champions League qualifying third round with a 1-0 away win against Montenegro's Zeta on Tuesday. Rangers, who had won the first leg 2-0 last week at Ibrox Park, advanced with a 3-0 aggregate win courtesy of a DaMarcus Beasley late goal. The American international, who joined the Rangers from PSV Eindhoven during the close season, struck nine minutes from time for his first goal in his new colours. Beasley, who had missed the best chance in an uneventful first half when he fired just wide of the far post from a good position in the 11th minute, drove in a crisp shot from 16 metres to put the contest behind dispute. Rangers next face either Red Star Belgrade or Estonian side Levadia Tallinn, the Serbian champions holding a 1-0 advantage from the first leg. Beitar Jerusalem hopes of progressing were dashed when Marcus Allback, who had already netted in FC Copenhagen's 1-0 first leg win, levelled to 1-1 for the Danish side seven minutes into extra time. Copenhagen advanced on the away goals rule. Dinamo Zagreb will be up against Werder Bremen after Brazilian midfielder Sammir inspired them to a 3-1 second leg win over Domzale that handed them a 5-2 aggregate victory against the Slovenian team.
