Motherwell and Hamilton Accies will join clubs across the country in a boycott of social media this weekend in protest at the racist and discriminatory abuse online suffered by players, staff and supporters.

Clubs will come together with the Scottish FA, Scottish Professional Football League, Scottish Women's Football and PFA Scotland and clubs in the Lowland and West of Scotland Leagues in switching-off all social media activity from 3pm today until 11.59pm on Monday.

There will be no reports or match reaction posted by clubs until Tuesday, after the four-day boycott passes.

But Lanarkshire Live Sport understands clubs will still post starting line-up news, as well as half-time and full-time results on social media along with the hashtag #FootballUnites.

Supporters can also follow updates on clubs' official websites.

The SPFL have asked clubs to 'switch off' their channels, whilst allowing very limited posting to keep supporters informed of key results.

Fellow SPFL clubs in Lanarkshire - Airdrieonians, Albion Rovers and Clyde - will also take part.
