Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters Projects Image of Celtic Fans’ Palestine Display During Mexico Concert

Celtic supporters received an expected message of support on Wednesday night from Pink Floyd legend and general rock icon Roger Waters.

Waters, who is known to be a boyhood Arsenal supporter, got very political during a concert in front of thousands of people in Mexico City last night.

Aside from calling American presidential candidate Donald Trump an “asshole”, Waters talked about various different political and social issues that he considered to be important, including the conflict between Israel and Palestine.

During on particular track, the big screens behind Waters and his band began playing a montage of images, which slowly transitioned into a picture of the Celtic fans’ display of support for Palestine during the recent Champions League qualifier against Israeli side Hapoel Be’er Sheva.

Coincidentally, Waters’ gesture came just hours before Celtic were fined £10,000 for the display of support by UEFA.

To date, over £100,000 has been raised by Celtic supporters for Palestinian charities and refugees – perhaps Waters just wanted to pay his respects to their effort.

What do you make of the gesture?
