Celtic Football Club has indefinitely withdrawn season tickets from a section of their supporters known as the Green Brigade due to their consistent failure to adhere to club and stadium rules. The group had displayed Palestinian flags and banners related to the Israel-Hamas conflict during a recent Champions League match against Atletico Madrid.
A section of the Celtic support known as the Green Brigade have had their season tickets withdrawn indefinitely by the club.
The flags were also waved in other parts of the stadium as well as the section occupied by the group. Fans of the club have also displayed Palestinian flags at recent Scottish Premiership games against Kilmarnock - hours after Hamas launched an attack on Israel - and Hearts. The statement urged fans to "raise the Palestine flag on the European stage" at the Atletico match "to show the world that Celtic Football Club stands with the oppressed, not the oppressor".The Glasgow club was founded in the late 19th Century to help feed the poor in the east end of the city.
The Green Brigade chose to display the flag once again during their team's 2016 Champions League qualifier against Israeli side, Hapoel Beer-Sheva - a move which landed the club a £8,600 fine.
