Millwall have insisted they are “dismayed and saddened” by events at The Den on Saturday where players from their own team were booed for taking a knee.

The long-awaited return of supporters was overshadowed by an incident ahead of the Lions clash with Derby in the Sky Bet Championship, which the visitors won 1-0.
