James McClean was seen arguing and pointing with Mansfield supporters during a heated post-match clash after Wrexham’s FA Cup win on Saturday.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The visitors triumphed 2-1 on the night thanks to goals from Paul Mullin and Sam Dalby, however that didn’t stop McClean from getting involved in a heated argument after the final whistle.<\/p>\n
The 34-year-old could be seen, in a video that appeared on X, arguing with Mansfield fans as tempers boiled over and the full-back had to be restrained by staff.\u00a0<\/p>\n
McClean was shouting and pointing at the supporters who stood in-front of the stands and appeared to be indicating for them to confront him on the pitch.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Staff intervened and the former Premier League star was ushered down the tunnel before anything could happen.\u00a0It’s unclear what caused the issue between McClean and the supporters.<\/p>\n

‘Yeah, god that guy is good.\u00a0He’s handsome as f**k. He looks like he could be in Peaky Blinders,’ Reynolds said in response, with McElhenney concurring that it is ‘bulls**t’.<\/span><\/p>\n The episode tracks the rollercoaster emotions in the fan-base, as well as the ups and downs of the day for the Hollywood pair, up in their Aviation Gin suite at the stadium.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n It’s All Kicking Off is an exciting new podcast from Mail Sport that promises a different take on Premier League football.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n It is available on MailOnline, Mail+, YouTube, Apple Music and Spotify.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\nIT’S ALL KICKING OFF!\u00a0<\/h3>\n
