The brother of Sean Cox has hit out at Manchester City's players after footage of a chant about Liverpool emerged.
City's players have come under fire after a video surfaced on social media appearing to show them singing a distasteful version of the "Allez Allez Allez" chant.
The rendition of the song is believed to have been filmed on their plane home from Brighton after winning the Premier League title on Sunday.
The chant includes lines about Liverpool fans being "battered in the streets" and "victims of it all", whilst those in the clip clearly sing a line referring to captain Vincent Kompany injuring Mohamed Salah earlier in the season.
City moved to deny suggestions the chant referenced Cox - who was attacked before the Champions League semi-final match with Roma last season - or Hillsborough.

Lifelong Reds fan Cox sustained life-changing injuries when he was attacked outside Anfield.
The 54-year-old is continuing his rehabilitation and recovery while his attacker has since been jailed.
His brother Martin has condemned the conduct of the City players.
"If I'm honest I'm disgusted. Singing and chanting those words, it's like it gives the impression that it's okay for people to carry out attacks like that on people in the streets," he told Radio City.

"It's a matter very close to our hearts and whether they say it's about Sean or not, the first thing I think about is Sean being attacked."
He added: "It wasn't long ago that a Manchester City fan was attacked in Germany, so why they think it's okay to sing songs about people being attacked on the streets when one of their own was attacked not long ago is very naive.
"I feel like the players themselves have let their club down and the majority of their fans. Liverpool themselves have only acted in a dignified way since we lost the league last Sunday.
"The first thing our manager did was come out and congratulate Man City and their players. They congratulated City on having such a great seaosn.
"I think they've tarnished themselves now by coming out with songs like that because at the end of the day they are professional footballers and they've only let themselves down and their club down.
"At the end of the day professional footballers are role models to kids and in this day and age every professional footballer will be media trained, so it is surely sending out the wrong message."
