    The poppy is wrong.

    The IDF? Who the * is doing that for the IDF?

    Go and read up on Aida Celtic. Go and see the videos of support from the West Bank after Match the Fine for Palestine. See how much it means to the Palestinians that their are people in the world who haven’t forgot about them.

    Honestly. There is always a theme running through the type of people who oppose these shows of solidarity. Ergo, they usually know * all about the situation.

    The Brown 8 banner is in the Standing section. Right next to the corner flag.

    Great point. Been making a political statement all year on the pitch and correctly too.

    Politics fine as long as they are the boards politics.

    Get to * Lawwell, Desmond Bankier et al.

    My Final say on this!

    This is the Celtic Supporters thread we are in!
    Speaking about that specifically.
    Our biggest fan group who are known for their displays for Players past & Present, get 1 single chance this season to show Broony what we think! His emotions must be running high, gutted were not in there so he can give us the send off he wants.
    He comes walking out the Tunnel & all he see's is palestine flags! Pretty Grim. If there was a big * OFF display with palestine flags then * right! But its the other way about! For me this is what it comes down to, Broony has not had the send of he deserves & this was an oportunity to do something!

    Everything else on the board ripping them down, there * statement & the poppy endorsement us for the BOARD thread.

    Nobody is disputing that... it all depends if you see the club as a vehicle for your political beliefs or not, many do & many don’t. All of us would be in the United Ireland camp as that’s a situation that’s close to our heart, but we can’t align ourselves with every war on the planet. From Lebanon to Hong Kong & Iraq & Chile, geopolitical competition in Yemen & Syria. Insurgincies in Somalia, Congo & Afghanistan, armed build ups all along eastern Ukraine, the list is endless. Most with a decent sense of common decency would side with the oppressed. All we’re asking is for wee bit of solidarity with broony on a historic night for our iconic captain. HH

    A wee reminder for the board backers. Keep Politics out and so on.

    A quick response to protect the brand.

    Yet where have they been in response to the brand during this season? Remind yourself of being 23 points behind. A points turnover of 30+ from last season.

    And when St Johnstone play Hibs in 2 weeks, another wee reminder of where this board has been hiding and where they have guided this club.

    And in the coming weeks, when they announce season ticket renewals and expect you to hand over money. Thinking that appointing a new manager is more than enough to placate and expect you to forget the absolute negligence they have shown for the football club.

    Nothing more than a number.

    What’s historic about tonight? We lost 10 in a row. He’s not * dead and he is moving to another Scottish club. I love the Captain but there are far more important things in the world.

    If you are opposed to expressions of solidarity because you believe that they are futile or inappropriate, you can help the wounded directly by donating money to Medical Aid for Palestinians here:

    I would much rather Broony came back for an exhibition match when fans are allowed in.

    I hope we flood The Celtic Way with Pro Palestine flags tonight.

    Depends.

    If it was official Sky Sports approved it would be OK.

    If we made up our own banners with say, Malcolm X, Huey Newton, Bobby Seale, Nelson Mandela they'd probably be turfed out for being "too political".

    sadly football is politics and especially with our club we stand for what’s wrong and what’s right in world events. Clubs all over the world flying French colours after the attacks on Paris, Union Jacks/Bees after Manchester. Just because the Palestine cause doesn’t suit western agendas. Genocide and land grabbing is easily spun to being attacked by terrorists.

    Board are taking * on this one, they offered fans to hang banners there will be hundreds of them sending Scott off, I’m sure he would understand fans venting their displeasure at world events, he’s been with us at the club to understand our DNA.

    They have no convictions. They engaged with the anti-racism movement because it is de rigueur. It is brand management, nothing more.

    Edit: Likewise the LGBT+ movement.

    Indeed mate. My bad. Black Lives Matter aren’t their politics either. Just acceptable to them at that moment in time.

    Make no mistake if Israel became a pariah and the rest of the footballing world showed solidarity our opportunistic board would be all over it.

    What an embarrassing take this is.

    You don’t support Palestine all that much if you think it’s fine to pick and choose when to support Palestine.

    Historic with the fact it’s his last game in a trophy laden era which he has been at the forefront off. We lost 10 in a row due to the ineptitude of the board sticking with Lenny & that was no fault of our leader. Clearly the Palestine massacre resonates with you & more power to you. I just wanted the guy to go out with respect and it being all about him. I suppose life dictates otherwise.

    The key is the Supporters won't be present.

    So, without the fans, the display would essentially be a message from the club.

    For me it's understandable and obvious , why they wouldn't want that publicity.
