Millwall initially said they would link arms with QPR on Tuesday evening, instead of taking the knee.
A club statement read: "Millwall believe that this gesture, which the club hopes to repeat with other visiting teams in the coming weeks and months, will help to unify people throughout society in the battle to root out all forms of discrimination."
Millwall have so far failed to condemn the booing, only going so far as to reiterate their commitment to tackling racism in general.
The club statement continued: "Millwall have a zero-tolerance policy against racial and all other forms of discrimination and want to again make clear to anybody who holds such views that you are not welcome at this football club. Millwall's stance, as always, is that anybody found guilty of racial abuse is banned for life."
However, Sky Sports were informed that the majority of Millwall players still plan to take the knee in tonight's game. It has also been reported that some Millwall players were left distressed and in tears by the actions of supporters in Saturday's game.Sport
