Breaking news: Wrexham ace James McClean hits out at Shrewsbury fans in explosive new message.

Wrexham star James McClean has taken to social media to send a furious message to Shrewsbury fans after their 2-1 defeat on Thursday (January 16).

The 35-year-old received a lot of criticism from Shrewsbury fans and even addressed them after the game. John Marquis gave Shrewsbury the lead after 17 minutes, but former Premier League striker Steven Fletcher levelled six minutes later. Shrewsbury subsequently scored the winner shortly after the interval, this time through Marquis, winning a crucial three points for the relegation-threatened team. Wrexham are now third in the battle for promotion to the Championship, two points behind Birmingham City, with 51 points from 26 games.
