RED STAR BELGRADE will be fined by UEFA for their conduct in Tuesday's Champions League defeat to Rangers.

 

The Serbian champions picked up seven yellow cards in the third qualifying round first-leg tie at Ibrox and their poor discipline will result in a fine of �£2175.

 

Swedish referee Martin Hansson handed out bookings to Djorje Tutoric, Dusan Andjelkovic, Ognjen Koroman, Milanko Raskovic, Filip Dordevic, Mauricio Molina and Segundo Castillo.

 

Teams are fined by European football's governing body if five or more players are booked in a match. But Red Star will also be warned about their conduct ahead of the second leg on August 28 at the Marakana Stadium.

 

Rangers fans were angered by the visitors' illegal challenges throughout the match.

 

Red Star midfielder Nenan Milijas should also have been booked after a shocking challenge on Alan Hutton while skipper Koroman was fortunate to escape a second yellow after remonstrating with Rangers players and Hansson.

 

Giving them a �£2175 fine is nothing really if there are millions at stake.

They should have been charged with assault and battery.

A token gesture. Embarassing really.
