JURGEN KLOPP branded a section of Liverpool fans “idiots” for aiming homophobic abuse at Billy Gilmour.
And he insists ALL of his club’s supporters must start singing from the right hymn sheet.
Gilmour, on loan at Norwich from Chelsea, was targeted during Saturday’s 3-0 win at Carrow Road.
Chants of “Chelsea rent boy” were heard from the away section and Liverpool quickly labelled it “offensive and inappropriate”.
Klopp said: “These songs don’t help as it’s a waste of time. When they sing ‘Bobby Firmino’, ‘Mo Salah’, ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’ — that stuff gives you goosebumps.
“The other songs… if you think what you sing, you’re an idiot.
“If you don’t think what you’re singing, forget it — go for another song.”
Klopp is preparing for a first full house at Anfield in 529 days against Burnley tomorrow.
He delivered his withering attack in an interview with Paul Amann, founder of Liverpool LGBT+ fan group Kop Outs.
The German added: “I never understand why you would sing a song if it was against something in a football stadium. I never liked it.
“In our case we have probably the best songbook in the world. It’s easy to decide not to sing the song any more.
“I’m not sure if people listen to me but it would be nice. I don’t want to hear it any more.
“We obviously live in a time where we learn a lot in the moment. I’m 54 now and when I was 20 we said so many things we didn’t think about.
“And meanwhile, thank God 34 years later we learned it’s just not right to say.”
