Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp will not face any disciplinary action over his gesture towards Shamrock Rovers fans during Thursday night's Europa League match in Dublin, UEFA has confirmed.

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 on Friday morning 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 said on Friday afternoon: "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.''
