Reports surfaced soon after the final whistle at Posh’s 2-1 League One defeat at Scunthorpe that McCann’s wife, Kelly, and her children, were targetted by members of the visiting support. Kelly and her three young sons were sat with the majority of Posh fans at one end of the pitch. She has given a description of her abusers.

MacAnthony was at the game and tweeted: “A £1000 reward to the first Posh fan who can send me name of fan/fans abusing that young lady/her kids today via [email protected] please.

“When I find out the culprits there will be consequences for them. Disgusting behaviour!”

Posh have not won any of their last six competitive matches.
