Celtic fans have made their feelings known about the ongoing conflict in Palestine as the opted to snub a tribute for Armistice Day.
Brendan Rodgers’ side are in Scottish Premiership action against Kilmarnock this afternoon. Aberdeen defeated Dundee on Saturday to go top of the table, but the reigning champions have the opportunity to go back to the summit on goal difference at Rugby Park.
Prior to the match, a minute's silence was held to tie in with Remembrance weekend .
However, many Hoops supporters chose to chant throughout the silence and subsequently held up a banner which read, “From Balfour to Starmer. The crimes of the empire live on. Britain is committing genocide in Gaza."
Broadcaster Sky Sports then moved to apologise on air. Commentator Ian Crocker said: "Sorry if you were offended with the disturbance to the silence."
