He added: “There was a flurry of Palestinian flags inside the ground just as the game started, but absolutely no trouble
at all.”
Before the match, hundreds of fans had joined a Facebook page titled “Fly the flag for Palestine, for Celtic, for Justice”, calling on supporters to display the flags as a protest against Israel.
A group called Celtic Fans for Palestine set up the page. It called on Celtic fans to use their “democratic rights to display our opposition to Israeli apartheid”.
Celtic were warned by Uefa, European football’s governing body, that the club could face sanctions if protesters displayed flags in the ground.
