Club warns fans to bin Nazi signs
after flashpoints in the international games with England in Budapest and at Wembley on Tuesday night as well as during the Euros in the summer.
A group of thugs were involved with clashes with police and stewards in London with accusations of racism in both games.
Peter Stoger’s side head to Glasgow next week – for the 3.30pm Europa League showdown at Parkhead – with around 300 punters being handed tickets.
Club bosses are nervous about more controversy and have issued a warning for fans to be on their best behaviour – and pleaded with them to ditch their notorious salute.
Ferencvaros ultras perform a ‘heart to the sky’ gesture, where they mimic grabbing their heart and throwing it in the air.
But it’s been claimed the action has more sinister fascist meaning – and the Hungarian outfit don’t want flagged up to UEFA.
A club statement said: “We would like to draw the attention of all our ticket buyers to the fact that during the match, in the immediate vicinity of the stadium, any hand gestures that UEFA may interpret as a Nazi flattery or an anti-Semitic symbol should be warned by their fellow fans.
“The ‘heart to sky’ arm movement with one hand cannot be done at all! The spectator may not bring pyrotechnic devices, incense, firecrackers, sound grenades into the stadium.
“We would like to draw the attention of our fans to the fact that expressions that offend the opponent, the opponent’s supporters, the judges, the referees with a gender identity tag or a reference to gender are also defined by UEFA as discriminatory, obscene, insulting or politically discriminating against sexual minorities – even if it happened in Hungarian.”
