Former Carlisle United captain Morgan Feeney was at the centre of heated post-match scenes involving an opposition manager.

The ex-Blues defender, now with Shrewsbury Town, clashed with Bolton Wanderers boss Ian Evatt after Saturday's 2-2 draw in League One.

The pair were involved in an altercation which resulted in a red card for Evatt and a booking for Feeney.

The Bolton boss appeared to lean his head into Feeney as the two men squared up, before being separated.

Evatt has spoken of his regret about the incident but also said there was "context" to his reaction towards the former Carlisle man.

“There wasn’t an issue with the referee at all, we were discussing the timing situation, and there was context to my actions," he told The Bolton News.

"Their player [Feeney] grabbed me, said some not very nice things, and I reacted in a way I shouldn’t have done."

The Trotters boss could now face further punishment having been charged with misconduct by the Football Association.

He added: “Because of the process I am not able to give context at the time as to why I reacted like that and it is difficult for me, but I will say I regret it and that I am sorry, I shouldn’t have reacted in that manner regardless of what was said to me or what happened."

Shrewsbury boss Paul Hurst was also unhappy after the game but directed his frustration at referee Declan Bourne, feeling Bolton's first goal - scored by ex-Carlisle man Kyle Dempsey - was offside.

Speaking via the Shropshire Star after the game, he added: "At the end, a few things have gone off Morgan Feeney has got a yellow card, no idea what for. So one of the rare times I will be going to see the referee to get a bit of clarification on that."

It is not the first time that Feeney has been involved in angry post-match scenes involving a rival boss since his move to Shrewsbury.

Last season he was involved in a heated exchange with Carlisle's Paul Simpson following the Blues' 2-0 win at Brunton Park.
