The incident occurred during Aberdeen's 6-2 victory at Pittodrie on 24 January, with both players sent off after 70 minutes following a melee.\n\nThe complaint was lodged by Livingston shortly after the match, with then-manager David Martindale revealing that Bokila, a 37-year-old former DR Congo international, was left in tears in the dressing room following an alleged comment directed at him on the pitch. The SFA's compliance officer subsequently launched an investigation, gathering evidence from both clubs and match officials.\n\nThroughout the process, Milne consistently denied the allegation, according to a statement released by Aberdeen FC. The club condemned all forms of racism and discrimination unequivocally but expressed support for their player during what they described as a \"very difficult and distressing period for all involved\". The club emphasized that it now considers the matter closed.\n\nThe \"not proven\" verdict is a unique feature of Scottish law, distinct from a straightforward not guilty finding. In the context of the SFA's disciplinary system, it indicates that the compliance officer was unable to establish sufficient evidence to prove the allegation beyond a reasonable doubt. This outcome leaves the incident officially unresolved in terms of definitive culpability.\n\nFor Aberdeen, the ruling allows them to move forward, as their statement indicated. The club will likely focus on their on-field performances, but questions about how such sensitive allegations are handled may persist. Milne returns to action having been cleared of the charge, though public perception may still be affected.\n\nLivingston, meanwhile, may be disappointed that the complaint did not lead to a sanction. The club had stood by their player, who was visibly distressed after the match. The outcome could fuel debate about the effectiveness of football governing bodies in addressing racism allegations, especially when evidence is limited to the testimonies of the two players involved.\n\nThe incident itself sparked widespread discussion about racism in Scottish football, a topic that has gained increased attention in recent years. While the SFA has introduced measures to combat discrimination, cases like this highlight the challenges of proving such allegations without independent witnesses or corroborating evidence.\n\nBoth players faced disciplinary action from the match itself, with their red cards leading to automatic suspensions. The SFA inquiry added another layer, though the \"not proven\" finding does not impose further sanctions. The result underscores the procedural hurdles in adjudicating on-field misconduct claims of a discriminatory nature.\n\nAs Scottish football continues to confront issues of discrimination, this case serves as a reminder of the complexities involved in disciplining such claims. The SFA's decision, while legally sound under its procedures, may not satisfy all parties, particularly those advocating for a zero-tolerance approach. The controversy highlights the need for clear policies and robust evidence-gathering mechanisms.\n\nBased on reporting from BBC Sport.","news","Jack Milne's racist abuse allegation against Jeremy Bokila was ruled 'not proven' by the SFA after a complaint from Livingston following the 6-2 win.","326257660112408576","Livingston","329339950782746625","326135624853622784","Premiership","326344849533964288","Livingston vs Aberdeen","2026-05-11T17:18:54Z","why-milne-s-racist-abuse-claim-was-not-proven-sfa-inquiry","BBC Sport","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.bbc.com\u002Fsport\u002Ffootball\u002Farticles\u002Fcwy2rgw7dxgo?at_medium=RSS&at_campaign=rss",[45,50,62,63,64,65,66,67],"326257792123932672","326257604382691328","326222707169431552","326257546392244224","326257613643714560","326257615342407680",[46,51,69,70,71,72,73,74],"Congo","GOES","Anderlecht","Nottingham Forest","Hassania Agadir","FC Winterthur","Why Milne's Racist Abuse Claim Was Not Proven: SFA Inquiry",[77,108,129,157],{"awayTeamId":78,"awayTeamName":79,"body":-1,"category":48,"excerpt":80,"homeTeamId":81,"homeTeamName":82,"id":83,"leagueId":53,"leagueName":54,"matchId":84,"matchName":85,"publishedAt":86,"slug":87,"sourceName":59,"sourceURL":88,"teamId":81,"teamName":82,"teamIds":89,"teamNames":98,"title":107},"326257567044997120","Rangers","Celtic beat Rangers in the Women's Scottish Cup final despite Emma Lawton's red card, as Morgan Cross's goal secured the trophy in a dramatic match.","326257567011442688","Celtic","336770421577748481","327052806332616704","Celtic vs Rangers","2026-06-01T05:14:52Z","celtic-s-women-s-scottish-cup-win-over-rangers-what-it","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.bbc.com\u002Fsport\u002Ffootball\u002Fvideos\u002Fcy9234r07pjo?at_medium=RSS&at_campaign=rss",[81,78,90,65,91,92,93,94,95,96,64,97],"326222713142120448","326257615103332352","326257666970095616","326257766752587776","326257784637100032","326222712429088768","326257808217477120","326222712496197632",[82,79,99,72,100,101,102,103,104,105,71,106],"Canada","BSC Young Boys","Young Africans","Fortaleza EC","Cannes","Scotland","Derby","Netherlands","Celtic's Women's Scottish Cup Win Over Rangers: What It",{"awayTeamId":109,"awayTeamName":110,"body":-1,"category":48,"excerpt":111,"homeTeamId":78,"homeTeamName":79,"id":112,"leagueId":53,"leagueName":54,"matchId":113,"matchName":114,"publishedAt":115,"slug":116,"sourceName":59,"sourceURL":117,"teamId":78,"teamName":79,"teamIds":118,"teamNames":123,"title":128},"326255038148120576","Hibernian","Rangers close in on Nigerian defender Akpe Victory, 19, with Hearts targeting Leon King.

For the visitors, the equation is stark: victory is essential to secure a coveted third-place finish and a return to European football. For Livingston, the stakes are equally high, as they battle to avoid the relegation playoff spot, needing a result to guarantee their survival in the top flight.\n\nWhile not a historic rivalry, recent years have forged a competitive edge, with Aberdeen often struggling against Livingston's robust, physical style on their artificial surface. The tactical battle will be fascinating. Livingston, under their pragmatic management, will likely employ a compact, low block, seeking to frustrate Aberdeen's possession game and hit them on the counter-attack through direct balls to their powerful forwards. Aberdeen, needing to win, will be forced to commit numbers forward, relying on the creative spark of their midfield maestros and the clinical finishing of their strikers to break down a stubborn defence.\n\nThe atmosphere at the Tony Macaroni Arena will be electric and fraught with tension. The home support, known for creating a cauldron of noise on the plastic pitch, will be their team's twelfth man, roaring every tackle and clearance. Aberdeen's travelling Red Army will arrive in force, desperate to cheer their side into Europe. Fans can expect a fiercely contested, nerve-shredding encounter where every challenge is magnified and every chance feels decisive.\n\nIn a dramatic finale that encapsulated the season's narratives, the match ended 1-1. Aberdeen dominated possession but were repeatedly thwarted by Livingston's resolute defending and inspired goalkeeping. The Dons took a deserved lead midway through the second half, only for Livingston to equalise with a towering header from a corner ten minutes from time—a goal that sent the home fans into delirium. The draw was enough for Livingston to secure their Premiership status by a single point, sparking scenes of relief and celebration. For Aberdeen, the result was a bitter blow, as their failure to win saw them slip to fourth place, missing out on European qualification on the final day and leaving their season tinged with disappointment.",{"code":185,"id":50,"imagePath":186,"name":51,"slug":187},"HME","https:\u002F\u002Fmedia.api-sports.io\u002Ffootball\u002Fteams\u002F255.png","livingston","2026-05-01T18:45:00Z",90,"gb-premiership","livingston-vs-aberdeen-2026-05-01","finished",[]]
