Player Targeted By Alleged Racist Abuse

Reading are through to the FA Cup semi-finals, but their celebrations were marred by an allegation of racist abuse towards winger Garath McCleary.

McCleary appeared to make a complaint to the assistant referee after collecting the ball for a corner in front of the travelling Bradford fans.

TV footage showed a fan shouting and making a gesture towards the Jamaica international, who scored Reading's second goal at the Madejski Stadium.

Reading confirmed in a short statement the matter had been passed to police.

"An incident was reported to the match officials just before half-time, who in turn told Reading staff.

"A man was then arrested and ejected during the half-time interval," the Royals said.

McCleary, 27, had provided the assist for Hal Robson-Kanu's opener before scoring a deflected second as Reading sealed a 3-0 win to set up a semi-final against holders Arsenal on Monday.

Reading boss Steve Clarke said after the game he was aware McCleary was "upset by something", but had no further information at that time.

It was the Reading fans who had initially been under the spotlight having invaded the pitch at the full-time whistle with a number of lit flares, preventing any on-field celebrations for the players.
