Ninkovic points finger at 'inappropriate gestures' from Rose

Serbia Under-21 international Nikola Ninkovic has conceded his post-match conduct in the clash with England was wrong but insists he was provoked by Danny Rose’s “inappropriate gestures” towards the home supporters.

Partizan Belgrade midfielder Ninkovic was prominent in the unsavoury scenes at the final whistle in the Euro 2013 play-off on Tuesday which saw players and staff from both sides scuffling on the pitch with Rose then sent-off for kicking the ball away in anger at what he perceived was racist abuse from the crowd.
