Livingston will contact the Scottish FA to report Aberdeen over an alleged racial comment made to striker Jeremy Bokila.

Following Livingston's 6-2 defeat by Aberdeen at Pittodrie on Saturday, manager David Martindale said 37-year-old Bokila was in tears in the changing room after a comment made to him on the pitch.

It is understood the alleged comment was of a racial nature and came amid a second-half melee that resulted in Bokila being sent off.

BBC Scotland has approached Aberdeen for comment.

After the match, Martindale said: "I've got a 37-year-old striker in there crying, so I'll need to go and try and get to the bottom of that one."
