And Whyte has this afternoon released a statement on his Twitter feed.
He wrote: "By now people have seen the video and hade made up their minds about it.
"I apologise to anyone I offended. All I can say is that I was stupid, it shouldn’t ever have happened and I completely regret being part of it.
"I want to thank everyone for the nice messages and hopefully they can see it for what it is – a drunk night out where I did something childish and wrong.
"It was wrong – I know that, but it happened and now I have to try and move on.
"I have so many good people around me and all I can do is concentrate on my football and hope that the Oxford and Northern Ireland fans can forgive me for a moment of real stupidity."
