The BBC says it 'will no longer be working' with Craig Ramage following comments he made about Derby County's black players.

Former Rams midfielder and Radio Derby summariser made the comments following Phillip Cocu's side's 1-1 draw against Huddersfield.

Rams defender Max Lowe hit out following the comment made, with a post on Instagram and Rams coach Liam Rosenior also took to Twitter concerning the comment.

The BBC said they were investigating, but they have since released an update concerning the comment.

A BBC spokesperson said: “These were entirely unacceptable comments and we will no longer be working with Craig (Ramage).”

News of this announcement comes as Craig Ramage apologises "unreservedly".

He took to social media site Twitter.

In a tweet he wrote: "I wish to apologise unreservedly for a comment that I made after yesterday’s game.

"What I said was wholly inappropriate and unintentional. Race is irrelevant to the issues that I was discussing and I deeply regret what I said. I sincerely hope that the players accept my apology.

He continued in a further tweet: "I would like to reiterate my heartfelt apology not only to the players, but also the fans that have listened to me over the past 7 years and also to those that followed me throughout my career.

"I would like to reinforce that this error in no way reflects my personal views."
