Liverpool have announced they will take action against a fan who called two Muslims supporters a 'disgrace' for praying at half-time of a match at Anfield last month.

Reds supporter Stephen Dodd posted an image to Twitter of Asif Bodi and Abubakar Bhula bowed on a prayer mat during last month's FA Cup quarter-final against Blackburn Rovers.

Dodd tweeted: "Muslims praying at half time at the match yesterday #DISGRACE."

Liverpool have now announced that any form of discrimination from the fans won't be tolerated and action will be taken against the offender.

"Last month, Liverpool Football Club received complaints of a tweet showing an image of Muslim fans praying during half-time at Anfield accompanied by comments that were offensive to the complainants," the club's message read.

"The club reported the tweet, which was posted online on Sunday March 8, 2015, to Merseyside Police.

"Merseyside Police investigated the matter and has referred this to LFC to take appropriate action against the individual involved. The club is currently in the process of determining the appropriate action to take and a further update statement will be made in due course.

"Liverpool Football Club would like to remind its supporters that it does not tolerate any form of discrimination and is committed to ensuring that the club and Anfield provides a welcoming and safe environment for all fans regardless of race, religion, gender, age, disability or sexual orientation."
