Colwill grabbed McClean by the collar as they shoved one another towards the touchline.

As it was a pre-season game, no cards were handed out by the match referee – with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-warned-wrexham-must-double-squad-value-reach-championship-finance-expert-ffp-psr-risks/blt3373656e57e0eaf2" target="_blank">Red Dragons co-owner Rob McElhenney</a> watching on from the stands.
