Livingston to report Aberdeen over alleged racial abuse of Bokila

Livingston will contact the Scottish FA to report Aberdeen over an alleged racial comment made to striker Jeremy Bokila.

Following Livingston’s 6-2 defeat by Aberdeen at Pittodrie on Saturday, manager David Martindale said 37-year-old Bokila was in tears in the changing room after a comment made to him on the pitch.

It is understood the alleged comment was of a racial nature and came amid a second-half melee that resulted in Bokila being sent off.

BBC Scotland has approached Aberdeen for comment.

After the match, Martindale said: «I’ve got a 37-year-old striker in there crying, so I’ll need to go and try and get to the bottom of that one.»
