Celtic fans are planning to show their support for Palestine ahead of the club's Champions League qualifier with Israeli side Hapoel Be'er Sheva.

The Hoops take on Beer Sheva at Parkhead next Wednesday and over 500 people have already signed up to a Facebook page called: "Fly the flag for Palestine, for Celtic, for Justice".

According to the Facebook page, fans who gather at the Celtic Way entrance next to the stadium before kick-off will be handed Palestine flags to display.

The group wants Celtic supporters to use their "democratic rights to display our opposition to Israeli Apartheid, settler - colonialism and countless massacres of the Palestinian people".

On their Facebook event page, the group also claim Israeli champions Be'er Sheva should not be allowed to compete in the Champion's League because they are in "breach" of UEFA rules.

The group posted: "Celtic have been drawn with an Israeli football team who under UEFA'S own rules should not be allowed to participate in this competition due to the system of apartheid laws and practices."
