Translated to English Boyata's message reads: "Eboue, can we talk about this or not?"
Steven MacLean played down the incident after the match, stating: “It was just a laugh, just a coming together. If I went down every time a centre-half niggled me I would be on my backside all day. It was just handbags.”
