Borussia Dortmund planning Hillsborough tribute

Borussia Dortmund fans are planning a tribute to the 96 victims of the Hillsborough disaster when they travel to Anfield on Thursday night.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp's former side will take on his new side for a place in the semi-finals of the Europa League following their 1-1 draw in the first leg in Germany last week.

The fixture comes on the eve of the 27th anniversary of the disaster and to mark the occasion, the Bundesliga side's 3,000-strong travelling contingent will hold up a yellow-and-black mosaic featuring the number '96' ahead of kickoff.

According to The Telegraph, the Reds have also invited Dortmund fans to attend a memorial service at Anfield on Friday.

Last week Dortmund honoured the 96 victims with a special rendition of 'You'll Never Walk Alone', the anthem shared by the two clubs, at the Westfalenstadion.
