Livingston striker Jeremy Bokila was sent off at Pittodrie Manager David Martindale has said Livingston have written to the Scottish FA over an alleged racial comment made to striker Jeremy Bokila during their defeat against Aberdeen on Saturday. Martindale said after the game that the 37-year-old was in tears in the changing room following a comment made to him on the pitch during the 6-2 loss at Pittodrie. The former Democratic Republic of Congo forward was sent off after a second-half melee between the players. Martindale said on Wednesday: "There was an incident. I think the incident's now with the SFA, and that's really all I can enlighten you with as far as I know. "I think Bokila has been speaking to the club secretary. I don't know any more than that. "I just know the incident's been referred to the Scottish Football Association. " In a statement following the game, Aberdeen said: "The club is aware of an allegation that racist language was used. The player concerned has been informed of the allegation and vehemently denies it. "Aberdeen FC condemns any and all forms of discrimination and we will co-operate fully with all relevant authorities during any investigation. "While this process is ongoing, it would be inappropriate to comment further.
