MILLWALL and QPR players are reportedly set to take the knee tonight despite some Lions fans’ protests against the anti-racist action.

Millwall announced yesterday that instead of taking a knee before the fixture, all players would link arms in “a show of solidarity for football’s fight against discrimination.”

The teams also planned to hold up an anti-racist banner, and Millwall said they would have the Kick It Out logo on the front of their shirts.
