Redknapp escapes UEFA charge

Redknapp had been barracked almost constantly throughout the match by a section of the home fans and seemed to react angrily midway through the second half with the apparent clenched-fist gesture towards the Rovers supporters.

UEFA said it was waiting to see if the incident was mentioned in two reports - from the referee and UEFA delegate - before deciding whether Redknapp would face any charge of improper conduct.

And, after receiving the reports, a UEFA spokesperson told Press Association Sport: "We can inform you that nothing was mentioned in the official reports about this and UEFA has not opened any disciplinary proceedings at this match."
