Gillingham have been hit with two FA charges following the brawl at Shrewsbury last weekend.

Players and management were involved in scuffles at the end of the League 1 match following red cards for a player from each team. A skirmish then saw the Shrewsbury substitute goalkeeper and Gillingham assistant manager Paul Raynor also dismissed.
