pete 2,499 Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Evening Times: click here to return to our homepage Uefa bid to end safety fears for Gers UEFA will demand safety guarantees from Israel before sanctioning Rangers' Euro clash against Hapoel in Tel Aviv. The governing body confirmed they are aware of a shocking incident during Sunday's Hapoel v Beitar Jerusalem league game. Hapoel skipper Yossi Abuksis was injured by a stun grenade - thrown from among his own fans at the Bloomfield Stadium - as he prepared to take a penalty. He was stretchered off, but returned after a delay to score the spot kick in a 1-1 draw. Rangers are scheduled to play the first leg of their last 32 Uefa Cup tie in that stadium on February 14. Uefa say they are constantly monitoring the situation in Israel, where a Euro ban was lifted on September 15. And they warn that if there are any risks to Rangers, the ban could instantly be reinstated. They are aware of the concerns regarding a high-profile British team going to Tel Aviv. A Uefa spokesman said today: "We lifted the ban on European matches in Israel in September. "But security guarantees are required for every game. And Uefa may again impose a ban if it considers there has been a deterioration in the security situation. "We are in constant contact with the Israeli government and the local authorities in Tel Aviv. Games are only played there if the situation makes it possible." Rangers Head of Safety, Laurence McIntyre, will fly to Israel early in the New Year for talks with local police and British consul staff, as well as Rangers' ticket allocation for the 15,000 capacity stadium. "Laurence is aware of the incident at the weekend," said a Rangers spokesman. "He will visit Israel early in the new year to discuss the arrangements with the local police and the consul." The Foreign Office advises British nationals against travelling to "parts of Israel" but Tel Aviv is not a no-go area. However, they have refused to downgrade their warnings. Rangers were fined �£5000 after a protester invaded the pitch at last month's Uefa Cup tie against Maccabi Haifa, which highlights potential problems. Five years ago, Rangers came close to being thrown out of the Uefa Cup after they refused to follow Uefa's instructions to play Russian side Anzhi Makhachkala, who were based in war-torn Dagestan. In 2001, six Chelsea players refused to play against Hapoel in Tel Aviv over safety fears.
