Celtic Fans Show Solidarity with Palestine
Fans Pledge Continued Support
Glasgow, Scotland - May 14, 2021
Fans of Scotland's Celtic Football Club have vowed to continue their displays of support for Palestine amidst the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. Celtic supporters unveiled a massive banner tonight at their home ground, Celtic Park, displaying messages of solidarity with the Palestinian people.
The display, organized by the Celtic fan group "The Green Brigade," included messages such as "Free Palestine" and "Stop the Occupation." It follows a previous display of a Palestinian flag at a recent European match, which drew criticism from the club's board.
Celtic manager Neil Lennon has spoken out in support of the fans' actions, saying that they have "the right to express their views" on important social issues. The club itself, however, has condemned the display, stating that it is against its policy of neutrality in political matters.
Despite the club's stance, Celtic fans have pledged to continue their displays of solidarity with Palestine. The Green Brigade has urged fans to "defy the board" and raise the Palestinian flag at the club's upcoming European tie.
