All at Dundee Football Club were shocked to read the unfounded allegations of sectarian chanting within the home end, as erroneously reported by the local press on Wednesday.

Use of sectarian language is something the club takes very seriously. As such we are able to confirm that there is no such problem within the support at Dens Park.

For the overall enjoyment of the game we always want our supporters to be cognisant of their surroundings, with safety amongst our support always the priority.

Our supporters have been excellent this season, turning out in large numbers and backing the team. The board of directors, staff and team are proud to have the best fans in football.

We look forward to enjoying a successful and enjoyable season.
