But Jamie McGrath executed a brilliant 30-yard free kick to earn a point.<\/p>\n<p>However, the Irish international later revealed unused sub Gueye suffered racist abuse \u2014 and if he had known about it, he may have walked off the pitch.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>McGrath said: \u2018I only learned what happened after the game.

They gave us everything. This is a team who beat Eintracht Frankfurt here and beat Olympiakos 4-2 last weekend.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018They are a team who have been invested in to sign some real quality players. We went toe-to-toe with them. We gave them a bloody nose.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Everyone who has watched us can see we have gone toe-to-toe with some big clubs, great teams in Europe.
