Reading have disciplined Paul McShane and Danny Williams following their on-pitch bust-up at Middlesbrough.

The team-mates squared up and shoved each other during Tuesday night's 2-1 defeat after Williams took exception to a rollicking form his captain.

Brian McDermott said after the game he had not seen the incident, but the Reading boss has since had a word with the pair.

McDermott said in a statement: "I've now had an opportunity to see back the footage of last night's incident and I have talked with both Danny and Paul.
