Sunderland's John O'Shea says Darron Gibson rant has been dealt with inside the dressing room
Wednesday 2 August 2017 14:09, UK
John O'Shea says the Sunderland players have moved on from Darron Gibson's scathing critique of the team to a group of supporters.
The 29-year-old midfielder was filmed slating his team-mates following their 5-0 defeat at home to Celtic in a pre-season friendly.
On a video uploaded to social media, he used a string of expletives to claim several of the players do not care about the club.
Sunderland say Gibson has apologised for his conduct and they have begun the disciplinary process.
O'Shea told Sky Sports News: "As players we know we have to have that responsibility to make sure we do things properly.
"It was dealt with in-house and inside the dressing room and it has moved on. Those kind of things are kept within the dressing room.
"We are looking forward to the start of the new season."
