Celtic supporters tonight unveiled a huge display showing support for Palestine amid the ongoing conflict with Israel.
The Green Brigade previously led pro-Palestine displays at Celtic Park with club chiefs distancing themselves from the political message.
Flags were clearly visible throughout the support around Celtic Park with support stretching the length of the pitch before kick-off. "The legacy of those events is Aida Celtic, a project which we are deeply proud of, entrenches our connection with Palestine and epitomises the ethos of Celtic Football Club.
"In addition to this, the Green Brigade face further restrictions at Celtic Park designed to impede on our support and use of our standard matchday materials. We are determined to overcome these and provide full backing for the team as always. A Celtic statement had read: "We have witnessed death, violence and destruction in the Holy Land in recent weeks, with thousands of people - men, women and children - killed, injured and displaced.
"For the Club’s UEFA Champions League match against Atletico Madrid this evening, Celtic and Atletico Madrid players and coaching staff will wear black armbands, as a show of respect and support for all those affected by the conflict.
