Derby County's Colin Kazim-Richards raises his fist as players take a knee before kick-off
Millwall say they are "dismayed and saddened" after some of their fans booed players taking a knee at the start of Saturday's game against Derby.
The Den was able to host 2,000 home fans for the first time this season after the second national lockdown was lifted.
However, the return of spectators was overshadowed by the pre-match incident.
The Football Association and anti-discrimination body Kick It Out have also condemned the booing.
"Millwall Football Club was dismayed and saddened by events which marred Saturday's game against Derby County at the Den," said the club in a statement.
"The club has worked tirelessly in recent months to prepare for the return of supporters and what should have been a positive and exciting occasion was completely overshadowed, much to the immense disappointment and upset of those who have contributed to those efforts.
"The impact of such incidents is felt not just by the players and management, but by those who work throughout the club and in its academy and community trust, where so many staff and volunteers continue passionate endeavours to enhance Millwall's reputation day after day, year after year.
"The club will not allow their fine work to be in vain.
"The players are continuing to use the biggest platform they have to support the drive for change, not just in football but in society generally.
"There is much work to be done and at Millwall everyone is committed to doing all that is possible, both individually and collectively, to be a force for good and to ensure that the club remains at the forefront of football's anti-discrimination efforts."
'An absolute disgrace'
Derby boss Wayne Rooney, whose side won Saturday's game 1-0, said it was "disappointing and upsetting" to hear the booing from supporters.
"I'm pleased with how my team dealt with that," he added. "They've had to put that to the back of their minds for the 90 minutes but I'm sure it's something they were thinking about."
Derby forward Colin Kazim-Richards described the incident as "an absolute disgrace".
Some boos were also heard when players took the knee at League Two Colchester United's JobServe Community Stadium, before the home side's 2-1 win over Grimsby Town in front of around 1,000 spectators.
Forward Callum Harriott, who scored the winner, later called the booing "ridiculous" and said it left him "absolutely disappointed".
His club said it was "fully behind any and all of our players and staff who take a stand against any form of discrimination", adding: "We also condemn the behaviours of any supporters that actively voice opposition to those activities."
Players, officials and staff at Premier League and English Football League games have been taking a knee pre-match since football restarted in June in order to show their support for the Black Lives Matter movement for racial equality.
'We have come so far but we have so far to go' - reaction
Former Manchester City and England defender Micah Richards described the Millwall incident as "disheartening".
"How do these fans get allocated to the games?" he said on BBC Final Score.
"There are 2,000 so you can pinpoint the people going. There are no excuses. I am sick to death of talking about this situation.
"It is so disheartening because it is like we have come so far but we have so far to go. I don't even like talking about the matter. It feels like it falls on deaf ears. It is time and time and time again."
Former Coventry and Aston Villa striker Dion Dublin, who had a loan spell at Millwall in 2002, added: "They don't agree with taking the knee, which means they are racist. They don't agree with Black Lives Matter; that says they are racist to me.
"It says to me that a minority of Millwall fans are spoiling it for a club that is going in the right direction with a tag they have had for years and years and they are trying to eradicate it."
On Friday, Millwall's first-team squad issued a statement supporting efforts to rid the game "of all forms of discrimination".
After Saturday's match, Lions boss Gary Rowett told Sky Sports: "I'm disappointed that we are talking about that when we should be talking about the fact we are all back and we want to enjoy the football match again.
"The club does an enormous amount of work on anti-racism and the club do a lot of work in the community and there is some really positive stuff, so of course I am disappointed."
'We applaud the players for defying the hate'
A Football Association spokesperson said: "The FA supports all players and staff that wish to take a stand against discrimination in a respectful manner, which includes taking of the knee, and strongly condemns the behaviours of any spectators that actively voice their opposition to such activities."
Kick It Out chair Sanjay Bhandari said he was "saddened" by the booing and praised the teams for "defying the hate" shown by some members of the crowd.
"What this demonstrates is that players are right to continue standing up to discrimination, whether that is through taking the knee or speaking out," he added.
"The fight for racial equality continues and we will continue to work closely with clubs across the country to tackle discrimination in all its forms.
"We applaud the players for taking a stand and defying the hate shown today."
The English Football League said: "The EFL continues to support any individual player, players and clubs who choose to 'take the knee' in support of tackling inequality in society.
"We are disappointed that a small group of supporters have today chosen to voice their opposition to such activities directly aimed at raising awareness of the fight against racism."
American football player Colin Kaepernick started kneeling symbolically during the pre-game national anthem in the NFL in 2016, in protest at police violence against African-Americans in the United States.
The Black Lives Matter movement and taking a knee has grown in prominence in the UK following the death of George Floyd in the US in May, which sparked protests around the world.
The 46-year-old, an unarmed black man, died after a white police officer held a knee on his neck for nearly nine minutes.

Last updated on .From the section Premier League
Patrick Bamford's goal is the earliest Chelsea have conceded in the Premier League since May 2017
Chelsea went top of the Premier League as they came from behind to beat Leeds United in their first game in front of fans for nine months.
Former Blues striker Patrick Bamford, who spent five years at Chelsea without making a senior appearance, gave Leeds an early lead at Stamford Bridge after getting between defender Kurt Zouma and keeper Edouard Mendy.
Timo Werner then somehow managed to miss from point-blank range after Olivier Giroud's flicked header from a corner, the Germany forward hitting the underside of the bar before Leeds cleared.
However, Giroud marked his first league start of the season with his fifth goal of the week, the scorer of all four of Chelsea's Champions League goals away to Sevilla in midweek poking home from five yards after Reece James' cross.
Chelsea, who welcomed 2,000 fans back to Stamford Bridge after coronavirus restrictions were eased, went ahead as Zouma headed in from Mason Mount's corner.
Substitute Christian Pulisic added a late third from Werner's pass, with the United States winger becoming the 13th different player to score for Chelsea in the Premier League this season.
Chelsea, who started the day third, are one point clear at the top.
Chelsea welcome fans back in style
There were scenes of celebration after the final whistle as Blues boss Frank Lampard went over to applaud fans inside the ground, who gave the players a standing ovation while they headed for the dressing room.
One supporter held up a banner which read "It's great to be back" and Chelsea certainly relished the occasion as they turned on the style.
When they last moved to the summit after a win at Newcastle on 21 November, Lampard said he was not going to "get excited about being top for five minutes".
Within a few hours they had been replaced by Tottenham following a win over Manchester City later the same day.
Lampard 'delighted' with Chelsea victory
Lampard's side will at least enjoy being top a while longer this time, although they could be overtaken by Tottenham and Liverpool on Sunday.
Nevertheless, this was a highly satisfactory victory.
While France's World Cup winner Giroud made the most of his first league start of 2020-21, Werner will wonder how on earth he did not score.
After his astonishing miss, Werner was thwarted on three occasions by Leeds keeper Illan Meslier, while Kai Havertz headed another chance over.
Unbeaten in nine top-flight games, Chelsea are handling the hectic Champions League-Premier League schedule well.
After securing top spot in their European group, Lampard's men are looking down on all the rest in England.
Bamford makes impact on return
Bamford arrived at Stamford Bridge with a point to prove - and, despite his team's defeat, left after once again demonstrating he belongs on the Premier League stage.
The 27-year-old was overlooked during his time at Chelsea, leaving for Middlesbrough in 2017 after five years in London without playing a competitive senior game.
In an extraordinary opening, and after the hosts had twice gone close in the first two minutes, Bamford got between Zouma and Mendy to connect with Jack Harrison's threaded pass to fire Leeds ahead.
It was another classy finish by Bamford, who is now level with Leicester's Jamie Vardy and Liverpool's Mohamed Salah in terms of top-flight goals in 2020-21.
Incredibly, seven of his eight league goals have come away from Elland Road, with Bamford scoring in five of Leeds' six away games this season.
His side, however, could not capitalise.
'Difficult' defeat gives Leeds opportunity to learn, says Bielsa
Having beaten former leaders Everton in their previous game, they were unable to stop Chelsea from going top.
Before this weekend only Liverpool had more attempts in the Premier League than Marcelo Bielsa's side.
They had another eight against Chelsea but could not respond once Zouma headed the hosts ahead.
'Defeats an opportunity to learn' - what they said
Chelsea manager Frank Lampard: "I was nervous of Leeds. They're a threat until the end if you don't get a cushion.
"They are pretty unique in their style and they're well coached. We knew it was a big task. Character-wise and performance-wise, on lots of levels, I'm absolutely delighted."
Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa: "It was difficult for us to stop them playing out from the back with their centre-backs and [midfielder] N'Golo Kante.
"I never question the refereeing decisions and this game was not decided by the referee. He did not decide the game. Always defeats are an opportunity to learn something."
Vulnerable at set-pieces - the stats
Leeds have conceded five goals from set-pieces (excluding penalties) in the Premier League this season, only Leicester have conceded more from such situations (six).
Oliver Giroud has become the first Chelsea player to score in six consecutive Premier League starts since Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink in October 2001. At 34 years and 66 days, he is the oldest player to score in six consecutive Premier League starts.
Chelsea have won four of their past five Premier League games (drawn one) - indeed, no current Premier League side is on a longer unbeaten run than the Blues (nine - won five, drawn four).
Leeds have lost three of their past five Premier League games (won one, drawn one), conceding three or more goals in all three defeats.
Marcelo Bielsa's side faced 23 shots in this match, their joint-most in a Premier League game this season (also 23 against Manchester City).
What's next?
Chelsea, who have already sealed top spot, host Russian side Krasnodar in their sixth and final Champions League Group E game on Tuesday (20:00 GMT), while Leeds are back in Premier League action next Friday against West Ham at Elland Road (20:00).

Peter Alliss, the legendary BBC golf commentator, has died at the age of 89.
Alliss, known as 'the voice of golf' to fans around the world, has been synonymous with the BBC's golf coverage for more than half a century.
Having first appeared on the BBC in 1961, he was made lead golf commentator in 1978 after retiring as a player.
"It is with great sadness we announce the passing of golfing and broadcast legend Peter Alliss," said Alliss' family.
In a statement, they described his death as "unexpected but peaceful".
They added: "Peter was a devoted husband, father and grandfather and his family ask for privacy at this difficult time."
Alliss provided the soundtrack to many of golf's most memorable moments, with November's Masters the last tournament he covered.
"Peter was the voice of golf. He was an absolute master of his craft with a unique ability to capture a moment with a magical turn of phrase that no one else could match," said Barbara Slater, director of BBC Sport.
As a player, Alliss won 31 tournaments and he and his father Percy were the first father-son duo to compete in the Ryder Cup, when it was a contest between Great Britain and the United States.
In 2012, he was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in the Lifetime Achievement category.
'One of the greatest broadcasters of his generation' - Alliss as commentator
After retiring from playing golf - in a professional sense, at least - Alliss moved into the commentary booth, where his descriptive and dead-pan style became the soundtrack to the BBC's coverage of major golf events.
"His inimitable tone, humour and command of the microphone will be sorely missed. His often legendary commentaries will be long remembered," said the BBC.
Alliss' first experience behind the microphone came at the 1961 Open Championship, remarkably, in the same tournament he was challenging Arnold Palmer on the course.
Between trying to stop the American great claiming victory, with Alliss eventually finishing seven shots adrift of Palmer, the Englishman also cut his teeth analysing his fellow competitors.
In 1978 he was appointed the BBC's chief golf commentator following the death of his co-host and great friend Henry Longhurst.
"I'm there as an old player, a lover of the game and a good weaver of stories," is how Alliss once described his television role.
To the majority of British golf fans - and many more across the world - his soothing voice became synonymous as the audio accompaniment to the likes of Seve Ballesteros, Nick Faldo and Tiger Woods winning the sport's biggest prizes.
Only a few weeks ago, Alliss described the moment when world number one Dustin Johnson won the Masters at Augusta National Golf Club.
"After six decades behind the microphone, he was just a month ago at the incredible age of 89 doing what he loved - commentating for the BBC on the Masters," said Slater.
"He transcended his sport as one of the greatest broadcasters of his generation."
Peter Alliss' broadcasting career spanned almost 60 years
'He's gone ga-ga' - Alliss' most memorable quotes
"What on earth are you doing? He's gone ga-ga. To attempt to hit the ball out of there is pure madness." - his iconic description of Frenchman Jean van de Velde taking off his shoes and socks and wading into the Barry Burn on the final hole of the 1999 Open at Carnoustie.
"It's like turning up to hear Pavarotti sing and finding out he has laryngitis." - reflecting on Tiger Woods shooting a third-round 81 at the 2002 Open.
"Looks a bit like Jurassic Park in there." - describing the rough on the 14th at Royal St George's, host of the 2003 Open.
"One of the good things about rain in Scotland is that most of it ends up as scotch." - on poor weather during a tournament in Scotland.
"That really is a settler. Better than Alka Seltzer." - after watching Northern Ireland's Darren Clarke sink an early final-round putt on his way to winning the 2011 Open.
Following in his father's footsteps & teaching James Bond - Alliss as a player
With his father Percy established as one of England's leading professional players in the 1920s and 1930s, it was perhaps inevitable the golf genes were passed down to Alliss.
Alliss was born in Berlin, where his father was the professional at the glamorous Wannsee club, and apparently weighed a European record 14lbs 11oz when he arrived in 1931.
Those hereditary blessings helped him blossom into a fine ball striker himself, establishing Alliss as one of the brightest young players of the time.
Between 1954 and 1969, he won 21 professional tournaments - including three British PGA Championships - and was twice winner of the Harry Vardon Trophy, given to the leading European player of the year.
The biggest title evaded him, however. Alliss came within four shots of lifting the Claret Jug in 1954, one of five top-10 finishes he had at the Open Championship.
Alliss (left) was said to have given Sean Connery (second right) some golf lessons before the filming of Goldfinger, in which James Bond played against the eponymous villain
Part of the reason he did not claim more of the biggest individual prizes seemed to be his infamously unreliable putting.
"I began to twitch on the short putts," he said after his decision to retire from the international game aged 38.
Yet, with the same self-deprecating humour he would bring to his commentary, Alliss made light of his deficiency.
Each of his luxury cars - one of the things his princely golf earnings of £30,000 allowed him to indulge - was said to have been fitted with a personalised number plate: '3 Put'.
Obituary
by Iain Carter, BBC golf correspondent
He won more than 30 tournaments at home and abroad including the Spanish, Italian and Portuguese Opens. But it is for his broadcasting skills that he will be most remembered.
Golf gravitas was supplemented by sharp wit and whimsy that made his a uniquely charming voice. It brought him millions of fans on both sides of the Atlantic.
As golf grew ever more popular, he became one of Britain's most famous figures, hosting the highly successful Pro-Celebrity Golf programme on BBC television and his own chat show 'Around with Alliss', which attracted many of the biggest entertainment stars of the 1970s and '80s.
His influence on golf stretched far and wide. He had a course architecture business with Dave Thomas that included among its commissions The Belfry, which has hosted four Ryder Cups. Alliss also wrote several books on the game.
He was a traditionalist who enjoyed the peculiarities of golf club life and he remained a brilliant and buoyant raconteur until the very end. But above all, he was still interested and fascinated by the sport. He was determined to carry on commentating, looking forward to being there for the 150th Open at St Andrews in 2022.

'Golf will never be the same' - Lineker & Cleese among those paying tribute
Following the news on Sunday of Alliss' death, tributes poured in from former and current players, golf's governing bodies, celebrities, journalists and fans.
Denmark's Thomas Bjorn, who captained Europe to Ryder Cup victory in 2019, said Alliss was a "great man".
Five-time major winner Phil Mickelson, who in 2012 was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame with Alliss and Britain's first Masters champion, Sandy Lyle, paid an affectionate tribute.
The European Tour said it was "deeply saddened" at his death, describing him as "truly one of golf's greats".
"Peter made an indelible mark on everything he did in our game, but especially as a player and a broadcaster, and he leaves a remarkable legacy," said Keith Pelley, European Tour chief executive.
Match of the Day presenter Gary Lineker, who has also fronted the BBC's Masters and Open coverage in the past, and Monty Python actor John Cleese were among the first to mourn Alliss' passing.

"Nobody told the story of golf quite like Peter Alliss," he added.

Derby County's Colin Kazim-Richards raises his fist as players take a knee before kick-off
Millwall say they are "dismayed and saddened" after some of their fans booed players taking a knee at the start of Saturday's game against Derby.
The Den was able to host 2,000 home fans for the first time this season after the second national lockdown was lifted.
However, the return of spectators was overshadowed by the pre-match incident.
The Football Association and anti-discrimination body Kick It Out have also condemned the booing.
"Millwall Football Club was dismayed and saddened by events which marred Saturday's game against Derby County at the Den," said the club in a statement.
"The club has worked tirelessly in recent months to prepare for the return of supporters and what should have been a positive and exciting occasion was completely overshadowed, much to the immense disappointment and upset of those who have contributed to those efforts.
"The impact of such incidents is felt not just by the players and management, but by those who work throughout the club and in its academy and community trust, where so many staff and volunteers continue passionate endeavours to enhance Millwall's reputation day after day, year after year.
"The club will not allow their fine work to be in vain.
"The players are continuing to use the biggest platform they have to support the drive for change, not just in football but in society generally.
"There is much work to be done and at Millwall everyone is committed to doing all that is possible, both individually and collectively, to be a force for good and to ensure that the club remains at the forefront of football's anti-discrimination efforts."
'An absolute disgrace'
Derby boss Wayne Rooney, whose side won Saturday's game 1-0, said it was "disappointing and upsetting" to hear the booing from supporters.
"I'm pleased with how my team dealt with that," he added. "They've had to put that to the back of their minds for the 90 minutes but I'm sure it's something they were thinking about."
Derby forward Colin Kazim-Richards described the incident as "an absolute disgrace".
Some boos were also heard when players took the knee at League Two Colchester United's JobServe Community Stadium, before the home side's 2-1 win over Grimsby Town in front of around 1,000 spectators.
Forward Callum Harriott, who scored the winner, later called the booing "ridiculous" and said it left him "absolutely disappointed".
His club said it was "fully behind any and all of our players and staff who take a stand against any form of discrimination", adding: "We also condemn the behaviours of any supporters that actively voice opposition to those activities."
Players, officials and staff at Premier League and English Football League games have been taking a knee pre-match since football restarted in June in order to show their support for the Black Lives Matter movement for racial equality.
'We have come so far but we have so far to go' - reaction
Former Manchester City and England defender Micah Richards described the Millwall incident as "disheartening".
"How do these fans get allocated to the games?" he said on BBC Final Score.

'We applaud the players for defying the hate'
A Football Association spokesperson said: "The FA supports all players and staff that wish to take a stand against discrimination in a respectful manner, which includes taking of the knee, and strongly condemns the behaviours of any spectators that actively voice their opposition to such activities."
Kick It Out chair Sanjay Bhandari said he was "saddened" by the booing and praised the teams for "defying the hate" shown by some members of the crowd.
"What this demonstrates is that players are right to continue standing up to discrimination, whether that is through taking the knee or speaking out," he added.
