WREXHAM AFC's James McClean says he makes no apology for singing an anti-royalist song as the club celebrated promotion.
The 34-year-old winger confirmed a report on the MailOnline claiming he joined in with some Wrexham supporters as they chanted about how he 'hates the King'.
It took place during celebrations on the pitch after Wrexham sealed promotion to League One last weekend after the 6-0 win over Forest Green Rovers at STōK Cae Ras.
And McClean doubled down on his decision to join in with the chants.
"Is this correct? Absolutely and I also sang at the top of my lungs," a post on his Instagram story said.
"Do I make any apologies for doing so? Absolutely not."
The former Republic of Ireland international has made 42 appearances and scored four goals since joining the club from Wigan last August.

Last month, the Prince of Wales visited Wrexham to mark St David's Day.
He was pictured pulling a pint with club co-owner Rob McElhenney and was presented with a Wrexham shirt with 'William' printed on the back.
Wrexham AFC has been approached for comment on the matter.
