James McClean's wife thanks Piers Morgan for 'support' over 'political symbols'

James McClean's wife has jokingly thanked Piers Morgan for his 'support' over her husband's decision not to wear a poppy.

The broadcaster took to Twitter to say that he believes footballers should not be made to wear 'symbols about any political or social issues'.

He was tweeting after Idrissa Gueye came under fire after he failed to feature in Paris St Germain’s 4-0 win over Montpellier on Saturday, which was the weekend Ligue 1 had chosen for its clubs to show solidarity ahead of International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia this week.
