Jim McLean has been charged by Tayside Police after an alleged assault on a BBC reporter last weekend. The former Dundee Utd chairman, who resigned on Saturday after the alleged incident, will also be the subject of a report to the procurator fiscal in Dundee. Superintendent Ron Wilkie said: "Following an investigation into an alleged incident at Tannadice Park on October 14, Tayside Police can confirm a man has been charged and report submitted to the procurator fiscal at Dundee.

"As this is an ongoing inquiry, no further comment can be made." McLean, 63, is alleged to have assaulted BBC Scotland reporter John Barnes after a 4-0 defeat by Hearts. Barnes needed medical attention to a lip injury. The club tonight declined to comment on the decision. But McLean won't face a Scottish Premier League inquiry for the moment - although it said it was treating the incident "with the utmost seriousness". ©Supergoals.com
