Luton Town manager Rob Edwards has apologised after Liverpool fans were subjected to tragedy chants during the Reds’ 1-1 draw at Kenilworth Road last weekend.
Luis Diaz rescued a point for Jurgen Klopp’s side with a last-minute header, but the game was overshadowed by sections of the Hatters' home support directing songs at Reds supporters which relate to the 1989 Hillsborough disaster in which 97 Liverpool fans lost their lives.
Luton have launched an internal investigation into the chants, while Liverpool wrote to the Hatters earlier this week for details over their handling of tragedy chanting from fans.

And Luton boss Edwards has now apologised for the actions of a section of the Luton support, before addressing them directly ahead of their clash with Manchester United this weekend.
"A statement has gone out from the football club and I want to apologise as well," Edwards said. "We don't condone that, of course, and there's an investigation going on at the moment.
"In terms of a message to our supporters, go out tomorrow, we want them to bring the noise - but let's be good and be respectful. Sunday is Remembrance Sunday and Sir Bobby Charlton's funeral is on Monday as well, so we go to Old Trafford at an important time."
Klopp condemned the tragedy chanting in the immediate aftermath of Liverpool’s draw at Luton last weekend.
“I didn’t hear that, no," said the Reds boss. "Shame on everybody who sang on it, but I didn’t hear it."
Meanwhile, Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher, who was on co-commentary duties at Kenilworth Road also slammed the guilty home supporters during Sky Sports’ live broadcast of the game.
“At the start of the season, I was involved in something about tragedy chanting and supporters coming together," said Carragher. "I have just heard something a couple of times in this game.
"Supporters have got to have rivalry but we are better than that. A lot of clubs have been guilty of that over the years but football fans are better than that."
