Coventry City have confirmed they will investigate reports of racist chanting during the weekend defeat to Bradford City.

The Sky Blues lost 2-0 to the Bantams at the Ricoh Arena in Mark Robins' first game back in charge of the club.

But the League One clash was marred with reports of racist chanting from the terraces.

One fan on Twitter suggested sections of the home support had aimed "derogatory songs about Bradford's Asian population" at the away faithful.

One fan took to social media after the match to write: "Can the Coventry City fans singing racist songs in block 14 kindly f*** off and not come back again, please.

"Throughly depressing."

Another added: "How come the stewards did nothing about the racist chants from our fans towards Bradford City y'day?

"Clubs an embarrassment (sic)"

While another wrote on Twitter: "@Coventry_City if racist chanting rumours proved correct from yesterday's game can you ban them from Wembley?"

Another fan admitted he was close to the alleged chanting, and it made him feel "really uncomfortable."

Coventry City swiftly responded to the concerned fans, and ensured it would be investigated.

The club confirmed on Twitter: "We will be investigating reports of racist chanting at the game yesterday, and the response of stewards to this."

The Sky Blues lost 2-0 on Saturday afternoon, with goals from Alex Jones and Jordy Hiwula sealing the win for the visitors.

Relegation to League Two now appears to be inevitable with the Sky Blues rooted to the foot of the League One table, and 14 points adrift from safety.
