The Hollywood actor and part owner of the Welsh League Two side, with Deadpool actor Ryan Reynolds, watched remotely as his side took on MK Dons at MK1 on Tuesday night.

Taking to social media before kick-off last night, McElhenney called the 30,500 seater Stadium MK 'beautiful' but also hoped the Red Dragons would deal a blow to Mike Williamson's promotion aspirations, after Dons were 5-3 winners in the reverse fixture in Wales back in August.

And while Wrexham did not break Dons' hearts, he was in for a treat with a fiery 1-1 draw between the two promotion chasing sides in a game laced with controversial moments and red cards.
