Vidic wants Hillsborough respect

The build up to the game has seen much concern over whether supporters will respect the occasion as is hoped.

“I am aware of the sensitivity of the day. Everybody is. There is a lot of talk in the papers and the media. I think our fans will respond well,” he said.

“The whole country is on test in this one. All over the world they will be watching this game. It is probably the biggest derby in the world and we have to show we are capable of keeping a good atmosphere and being a good example to the kids.”
