This is expected to lead to heavy fine from Uefa as it broke their rules about no political messages allowed. We're a democratic society, people can wave Israeli flags, Palestinian flags, Scottish flags, Union Jacks all they want." Celtic had released a statement before their Champions League clash with the Spanish giants on Wednesday night, pleading with their supporters not to break Uefa rules and wave Palestinian flags. The displays brought about a mixed reaction on social media, with the majority of Celtic supporters backing what happened, although a select few did criticise it.
