Celtic have urged supporters not to bring Palestinian flags inside Parkhead ahead of tonight's Champions League clash with Atletico Madrid.
The Hoops fanbase has thrown its support behind Palestine amid the ongoing conflict between Israel with flags displayed at recent matches.
A club statement read:"We have witnessed death, violence and destruction in the Holy Land in recent weeks, with thousands of people - men, women and children - killed, injured and displaced. "We also hope and pray for peace, and for humanitarian support to reach those who are in need and in fear."Against this backdrop of conflict and pain, sport can promote peace and demonstrate humanity and empathy for all who continue to suffer.
"The Club is also making a contribution to the International Committee of the Red Cross to support people affected by the humanitarian crisis in the region.
