Harper calls for supporter calm at Hull

Hull City goalkeeper Steve Harper has urged supporters to cast aside their differences with owner Assem Allam.

Tigers fans are continuing to protest the Egyptian-born businessman who is still looking to push through a name change for the club from Hull City AFC to Hull Tigers.

Some supporters held up 'Allam Out' signs during Monday's 3-1 loss to Arsenal which left the club sitting just a point above the relegation zone with three fixtures remaining.

Ahead of Saturday's crunch clash with bottom-placed Burnley, veteran Harper has implored the Hull faithful to simply support the team as they look to avoid the drop back to the Championship.

Harper posted the following on Twitter after being named the club's Player of the Month for April.
