Celtic fans defy club by showing support for Palestine in Champions League

Celtic fans ignored calls from their club not to fly banners or flags relating to the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict before the Champions League match against Atlético Madrid.


Supporters known as The Green Brigade, who typically sit in the north curve of Celtic Park, handed out thousands of Palestine flags before the match. Celtic have been fined twice in the past for similar messages by their fans, and the club could now face further disciplinary action.

They can spin the media story however they want but THE PEOPLE will always remember the downtrodden and what really happened. Respect to everyone that is showing support for a country that is desperately in need of it.

Celtic fans showing more morality and compassion than the entire Westminster establishment. Not a surprise really.

I can't explain the link with the scotish people even before I lived there for few years. Reading the history of suffering by colonical englad I understand why they support Palastine. Respect.

[kerrydevlin]

The celtic fans are to be commended for this show of solidarity rigt now, but they have long supported the Palestinian people in their fight. Well done to all those fans.

The Celtic fans once again show they are free people, Palestine doesn't walk alone.
