QPR boss Hughes fully behind Cisse over Twitter attack

QPR boss Mark Hughes has vowed to back new signing Djibril Cisse in his bid to expose the morons who racially abused him on Twitter earlier this week.

The French striker has asked the website to track down the culprits.

Hughes said: "I've just been made aware of it but I'll be speaking to him about it.

"Unfortunately, one of the negatives of social media is that it gives people the chance to be anonymous and spit vitriol over all areas of life.

"It's sad that some people choose to amuse themselves in that way. It's unpleasant and it's unnecessary.

"We support Djibril's stance and the action he is taking. These people can't hide behind things like false names and whatever. They should be outed and eventually they will be found."
