Leeds United have warned they will ban fans who sing an anti-Palestine song about their Israeli winger Manor Solomon.
In December, the club condemned the chant about Solomon ‘hating Palestine’.
However, Leeds have since received a large number of complaints from fans about its continued use.
They have now promised to increase CCTV surveillance and the stewarding presence in the South Stand, as well as threatening supporters with banning orders.

Footage of the song emerged in December and Leeds United responded by condemning it
In a strongly worded statement ahead of Monday’s home clash with Sunderland, the club said: ‘Leeds United again condemn the football chant containing an anti-Palestine lyric aimed at Manor Solomon.
‘Hate crime and discriminatory language or chanting are not acceptable and the club has a zero-tolerance policy towards discrimination abuse of all kinds.
‘Action will be taken against any person who participates in the chant, including the issuing of a club banning order.’
