Scottish football fans express solidarity with Palestine
ANKARA (AA) – Celtic football club fans have expressed solidarity with the people of Palestine facing Israel’s devastating attacks.
Fans of the Scottish team displayed pro-Palestine banners during a Wednesday night UEFA Champions League match in Glasgow against Slovan Bratislava.
“They can oppress you, they can imprison you, but they will never break your spirit. Gaza, Jenin, Tulkarm, Nablus. You’ll never walk alone,” said the Celtic fans’ banners on display at Celtic Park.
They also waved Palestinian flags to show their stance against Israeli attacks on Palestine.
Brendan Rodgers’ Celtic beat Slovan Bratislava 5-1 in the Champions League matchday one to make an excellent start to Europe’s top-tier club contest.
Flouting a UN Security Council resolution calling for an immediate cease-fire, Israel has continued its war on Gaza which it started on October 7 last year.
Over the course of nearly a year, Israeli attacks have killed over 41,000 people, most of them women and children, and injured over 95,500, according to local health authorities.
The Israeli onslaught has displaced almost the entire population of the territory amid an ongoing blockade that has led to severe shortages of food, clean water, and medicine.
Israel also faces accusations of genocide for its actions in Gaza at the International Court of Justice.
