Nir Bitton has expressed discontent towards the Green Brigade, following a display of pro-Palestine banners by the Celtic fan group prior to today’s match against Kilmarnock. This development comes amidst heightened tensions in the region, as Israel declared war against the Palestinian group Hamas The banners raised by Celtic fans read: “Free Palestine. Victory To The Resistance”.

These banners, accompanied by Palestinian flags, echo the Green Brigade’s previous expressions of solidarity at Celtic Park, notably during European match-up against Hapoel Be’er Sheva which consequently led to a UEFA fine. Nonetheless, the Hoops’ faithful responded by amassing over £130,000 for Palestinian charitable causes.

Bitton was displeased with the decision to display the banners this afternoon, accusing Celtic’s ultras of ‘supporting terrorists’. The Israeli midfielder aired his grievances on Instagram, stating: “Shame on you! Yes free Gaza from Hamas, not from Israel. Supporting terror organisation who’s proudly celebrating the slaughtering of families is absolutely crazy. Embarrassing. “Most of you don’t even know where Israel is! You have zero clue about this conflict and you still act like you know everything. “As a father for 3 kids I want to see how you react when your innocent kids getting slaughtered and kidnapped in front of your eyes! And please don’t tell me this is what Israel do to Palestinians because this is far from being true. Stop being brainwashed and biased and educate yourself with facts.”

Bitton, having participated in many games where the Green Brigade showcased their support for Palestine over the years, seemed to have internalised the situation until his eventual exit from the club.

  1. What a prick.. Palestine isn’t a terrorist organisation, its a country that is under occupation. Seems that parasite is brain washed

  3. Nir Biton is right, Hamas is a terrorist organisation funded by Iran. It seems the Green Brigade, which is more Red Bridage, isn’t very well educated or its affiliates would know that. There’s nothing worse than a group of uneducated Communists following a narrative someone else has fed to them. I’ve long said that Celtic need to dump this politically activist group that pretends to be Celtic support, they’re bringing the club into disrepute. Between the fines for letting off pyrotechnics to political statements that have absolutely nothing to do with sport, it’s clear they are agitators. Politics has absolutely no place in football, it’s supposed to be a way of escaping the everyday political garbage we get fed on TV and MSM.

  4. Celtic Park should be politics free.
    Its a football stadium and the board should stop it being hijacked by the Green Brigade.
    Take the Palestinian flags to the Israeli Embassy and protest there.

    I agree completely. A football stadium is no place for politics. Get these agitators out and let ordinary people enjoy the game.
