McClean, 29, was called a “c***” and told that he was “f*****g wrong” for his refusal to wear a poppy, with footage of the incident since going viral on social media.The Republic of Ireland international is a native of Derry, Northern Ireland, the site of the 1972 Bloody Sunday tragedy in which 14 civilians were killed in clashes with the British Army.He believes the poppy commemorates all British military activity, including the Bloody Sunday killings in his hometown.McClean took the same decision at his previous clubs Sunderland, Wigan and West Brom.QPR’s club statement read: “Queens Park Rangers Football Club is aware of a video circulating on social media showing a section of individuals abusing James McClean during our Championship fixture with Stoke City on Saturday 9th March.The Republic of Ireland international was called a ‘c***’ and ‘f*****g wrong’ for not wearing a poppy2

“The club wholly condemns such abuse and an internal investigation is now under way as we seek to identify those involved.“The club will be making no further comment at this time.”It is not the first time McClean has received this type of abuse, with the midfielder pelted with objects from the away end after Stoke’s home game against Middlesbrough back in November.He took to social media in the wake of that incident, where he had to be ushered down the tunnel by security. And it appeared McClean blasted sections of the Stoke support, who “sing their anti-Irish song each game”.He took to Instagram, saying: “Your abuse, your throwing things, your booing, do your worst.“To the home fans that are actually educated and support me, thank yous.“To the section of uneducated cavemen in left hand corner of the boothen end stand that want to song their anti Irish song each game and call me a fenian this and that.. i am a PROUD FENIAN no c@#t will ever change that, so sing away.”
