United racism inquiry
up a ‘Show Racism the Red Card’ T-shirt.
Courts did not speak to the media after the game.
But his assistant Liam Fox insisted what Fuchs said to the bench would remain between them. He said: “That conversation will stay between myself, the manager and Jeando.
“The club are looking into an accusation and if there’s anything on that you’ll be first to know.”
The United players were seen supporting Fuchs and Fox added: “That tells you how close they are.
“They all want to look out for each other and protect each other. As a club that’s something we’re extremely proud of, that the players are a tight-knit group.
“Jeando’s performance for the rest of the game was absolutely outstanding.
“I would rather speak
about that aspect of it.”
However, Staggies boss Malky Mackay insisted that while a comment seemed to have been made, it was not a racial slur.
He said: “It appears something was shouted from the stand – but there is confusion as to what that was.
“Our chief executive and members of the Dundee United staff went in to see the referee at half-time.
“It appears it was a swear word – that’s coming from Dundee United stewards who are in among the fans.
“It appears it was misheard from the pitch.”
Mackay felt Courts’ T- shirt gesture was an “interesting” judgement.
The Staggies boss said: “It was an interesting thing to do considering he doesn’t know exactly what has happened.
“It wa s clea r l y premeditated because that red T-shirt isn’t sitting on the bench. It was an interesting judgement call to make.”
