Aberdeen's Jack Milne 'may be difficult for Scotland to ignore'
www.bbc.comHere’s the latest on the allegation involving Jack Milne and the Scottish FA:
-
Summary: The Scottish FA disciplinary tribunal ruled that the allegation of discriminatory abuse against Aberdeen defender Jack Milne was not proven. This conclusion effectively closes the case against Milne, with Aberdeen and Milne both confirming the outcome and Milne denying the accusation throughout the process.[2][3][5]
-
Context: The incident arose from a January Premiership match between Aberdeen and Livingston at Pittodrie, after which Livingston’s Jeremy Bokila complained of racist remarks. The case proceeded to a disciplinary hearing, which concluded with the not proven outcome.[3][5][2]
-
Reactions: Aberdeen FC stated Milne consistently denied the allegation and the club supports him, emphasizing their condemnation of racism and discrimination in all forms. Livingston’s position was that the process had progressed through the proper channels and the matter reached its conclusion through the SFA process.[5][3]
-
Current status: The matter is considered closed by both the club and the Scottish FA following the tribunal decision. Milne’s status and standing at Aberdeen remain unaffected by the outcome, and there has been no further official commentary beyond the published statements.[3][5]
