Bruce awaits McShane apology

Hull boss Steve Bruce has demanded an apology from out-of-favour Ireland defender Paul McShane.

The Republic of Ireland international, who is a fans’ favourite on Humberside and the club’s longest serving player, has featured just six times this season and has not been seen since the Burnley defeat on November 8.

Since then relations appear to have deteriorated significantly, with the 28-year-old sent to train with the Tigers’ development squad.
