NI supporters treated 'shamefully' in Bulgaria

Northern Ireland fans spokesman Gary McAllister says supporters received "shameful and totally unacceptable treatment" in Sunday's Nations League game in Bulgaria which included "being subjected to violent attack".

The chairman of the Amalgamation of Official Northern Ireland Supporters' Clubs said fans had been been denied "basic rights of water and toilet facilities" after being locked into their section of the stadium in Plovdiv.

"It also created a serious safety issue. We contacted Irish FA staff, who in turn spoke to the Uefa delegate, and eventually, the gates were opened," said McAllister.

"Some of our fans were also subjected to violent attack as they made their way back to the city centre, and one fan was hospitalised."

BBC Sport NI has contacted the Irish FA and Uefa for comment.
