CELTIC fan group the Green Brigade slammed the club and labelled them cowards today, accusing them taking a “side with the oppressor” for taking down the Palestinian flags raised in solidarity with the people of Palestine.

Celtic Park was open to allow fans to leave messages to outgoing captain Scott Brown who played his last home match for the club last night against St Johnstone.

Instead, the ultras situated in the North Curve corner section of the stadium hung flags to raise awareness of the atrocities taking place in Palestine and the number of Palestinians who have died as a result of Israeli air strikes over the past few days.
