    <span class="titolo">Galliani Confirms That Milan Will Not Be Appealing</span></p>

    <span class="sommario">Milan Vice-President Adriano Galliani has reiterated the stance he took after yesterday&rsquo;s game and says that the club will not be appealing to UEFA over the incident involving Dida.</span></p>

    The Brazilian keeper was struck by a Celtic fan who had run onto the pitch to celebrate his team&rsquo;s last minute winner. Although contact seemed minimal Dida collapsed to the ground and had to be stretchered off the pitch. </p>

    "We don't expect anything from Uefa,&rdquo; Galliani told journalists this afternoon outside Malpensa Airport. </p>

    &ldquo;They should do what they think is most appropriate, but Milan's position is clear: we will not be making any appeal. What about Dida? Well our goalkeeper was hit, and I don't think that is right.&rdquo; </p>

    UEFA communications director William Gaillard has revealed that a decision over what to do will be taken shortly. </p>

    &ldquo;One of our prosecutors will look at the evidence and decide whether to open an investigation,&rdquo; he told England&rsquo;s Sky Sports News.</p>

    &ldquo;I don&rsquo;t want to presume anything. There is a whole range of possible punishments, but of course there are precedents for the same kind of incidents.&rdquo;</p>
