Jurgen Klopp has issued a strong response to the recent spate of vile chants about the Hillsborough disaster from opposition fans at Liverpool matches.
High profile fixtures against Manchester City and Manchester United this month have been marred by pockets of supporters singing songs in connection to the 1989 disaster that slur Liverpool supporters. A minute's reflection for the 97 victims was also disrupted by a number of City followers at the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley, with referee Michael Oliver having to cut the silence short and Pep Guardiola later apologising to Liverpool for the incident.
Writing in Liverpool's matchday programme, ahead of Sunday's Merseyside derby against Everton, Klopp said: "As ever, but especially at this time of year, the Hillsborough families and survivors are in the thoughts of everyone at Liverpool FC and I want you to know that you have our total support, which should be a cause for concern for any right-minded, compassionate person, regardless of which team they are associated with.
