Irish star James McClean appears to taunt Mansfield fans during Wrexham game. The incident came after McClean stood separately away from Wrexham and Mansfield players observing a minute of silence on Remembrance day weekend.
McClean is often targeted by fans due to his stance on refusing to wear a poppy. He was taunted by fans on Thursday before opting to hit back on social media. LISTEN NOW:James McClean branded Shrewsbury a 'cesspit full of inbreds' after being targeted with abuse by the club's fans during Wrexham 's League One clash with the side this week.
'If the poppy was simply about World War One and Two victims alone, I'd wear it without a problem. I would wear it every day of the year if that was the thing but it doesn't. It stands for all the conflicts that Britain has been involved in. Because of the history where I come from in Derry, I cannot wear something that represents that.'
Irish Wrexham star James McClean has labelled Shrewsbury 'an absolute cesspit full of inbreds' on social media 'In fairness if I was born and raised in Shrewsbury I'd probably be this angry as well cause it's an absolute cesspit full of inbreds,' he wrote on his Instagram story. The fallout from the game also saw McClean honour a previous IRA fighter in an Instagram post stating: 'They have nothing in their whole imperial arsenal that can break the spirit of an Irishman who doesn't want to be broken.'
On occasion, McClean has been known to taunt fans back in response to their jeers, but there were reports of objects being thrown at the player during the derby clash in midweek.
