There were around 600 Celtic fans inside Tynecastle on Sunday afternoon to watch the Champions go about their business.

Before the game, many of the fans in attendance followed other fans across Europe this weekend in showing their support for the Palestinian people with the war in the Middle East escalating to harrowing and upsetting proportions over the past few weeks.

The Green Brigade have also asked any Celtic fan who wants to show support for Palestine to bring a flag to the upcoming Atletico Madrid Champions League game.

It will be interesting to see how UEFA deal with it. Many clubs and associations have chosen to spotlight the innocent people on both sides being harmed by the conflict.

This issue transcends football, but those who want to show their support should be allowed to do so without reproach.

The club have made it clear the green brigades stance is not the one they officially adopt.
