Shamrock Rovers condemn fans over 'callous' chanting after Queen's death

Shamrock Rovers have hit out at 'unacceptable' chanting from supporters during their Europa Conference League match against Djurgardens on Thursday night.

A video clip of a callous chant relating to the death of Queen Elizabeth II yesterday circulated online has been viewed over seven million times in less than 24 hours since it was posted on Twitter.

The clip appears to show fans chanting, "Lizzie's in a box," to the tune of KC and the Sunshine Band hit, Give It Up. The supporters, some of whom waved flags and pumped fists in the air while belting out the words, have been heavily criticised on social media.
