Brendan Rodgers refused to wade into the Celtic and Green Brigade standoff over pro-Palestine displays.
Brendan Rodgers has refused to be drawn into the ongoing standoff between Celtic chiefs and the Green Brigade over pro-Palestine displays at Parkhead.
The display came despite club chiefs urging supporters against displaying messages of a political nature or of the flags of either country involved in the conflict. "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 urging against any display before the match 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.
