CHELSEA have launched an investigat­ion into sectarian abuse aimed at Scotland midfielder John McGinn.

The Aston Villa star was targeted by a member of the Stamford Bridge crowd during Saturday’s English Premier League match, which Villa lost 3-0.

Chelsea said last night: “We are aware of a video circulatin­g on social media showing an individual using abusive language of a sectarian nature in the crowd at Stamford Bridge

“Chelsea Football Club finds all forms of discrimina­tory behaviour totally unacceptab­le and we condemn the language used. The club is working to identify the person involved and will take the strongest possible action against them.”
