REPORT: Scottish football fans raise Palestinian flags in match against Israeli team

Hundreds of fans at a football match between Glasgow Celtic and Israeli side Hapoel Beer Sheva raised the Palestinian flags in a protest against the Israeli occupation, ignoring an official ban on political demonstrations.

Before the start of the Champions League cup qualifier, activists from the group Palestine Alliance distributed flags and leaflets on the Nakba of the 1948 war that led to the creation of Israel and rendered millions of Palestinians refugees. Police outside Celtic Park warned fans against bringing flags into the stadium.
