Videos circulated on social media after the game appearing to show McClean flicking a boot towards Ronald when the Swansea winger was lying on the pitch. The Football Association (FA) says McClean, 36, has admitted a charge of violent conduct. "The player's behaviour around the 94th minute wasn't seen by the match officials at the time, but it was caught on video, and the FA alleged that it constitutes violent conduct," an FA statement said.
The ex-match official appeared at Nottingham Crown Court on Tuesday in connection with an allegation relating to a category A video, the most serious kind, recovered by officers in February.
