Paul Gascoigne has been cleared of assault by beating after he was earlier cleared of sexual assault .
The former Rangers player was taken to court after kissing a woman on a train between York and Newcastle in August 2018.
Jurors found the 52-year-old not guilty earlier in the day of sexual assault, however they were told to consider an alternative charge of assault by beating.
He has now been cleared of that charge too.
Gascoigne, who denied a single charge of sexual assault, told Teesside Crown Court that he kissed the woman to boost her confidence after he claimed he heard someone call her fat.
A jury cleared him of that offence, plus a less serious alternative charge of assault by beating which they were told to consider by Judge Peter Armstrong.
After the verdict was returned the ex-Newcastle and England midfielder thanked the judge, the jury and his dentist – an apparent reference to evidence earlier in the trial about him not having his false teeth in when he was on the train.
