Green Brigade Show Support For Palestine With Cup Final Banner Display

Celtic Ultra group Green Brigade showed their support for Palestine with a banner display in the Scottish Cup Final.

The Hoops went up against Motherwell in the season’s showpiece at Hampden this afternoon, winning 2-0 to complete a historic double treble.

Callum McGregor opened the scoring in the first half with a brilliant volley before Olivier Ntcham followed up with a decent strike from the edge of the box.

Everything went well for Celtic on the pitch – so some of their supporters showed their backing for the people of Palestine.

The number of Palestinians martyred by Israeli gunfire during Monday’s protests on eastern Gaza Strip rose to 64 people on Saturday while hundreds more were injured. That’s led to widespread condemnation of Israel’s approach to dealing with the hostile situation.

Celtic fans have shown their support for Palestine before – and this is their latest show of public backing:

It reads: “Celtic stands with Palestine. End genocide, end zionism.”
