Why are there Palestine flags at a (huge) Scottish football stadium?

Celtic football club has long been associated with it's sympathies for Irish republicanism and independence. 60,000 turned up to tonight's Champions League game against Athletico Madrid and there was a sea of Palestinian flags waving the whole game through. Put that in your pipe and smoke it, Suella Braverman.
The club was founded in the late 19th century by Irish Catholic immigrants in the east end of Glasgow. Many had been disposed from their land and/or faced economic hardship as a direct result of British occupation and rule. Both before and after the club's foundation, the Irish in Scotland were treated as second class citizens by many in the local Protestant population.
Celtic quickly grew to be one of the two dominant clubs in Scotland and has a huge fan base both in Scotland and elsewhere. Their fans remain true to the historical memory of shared injustice inflicted on Irish people by the British ruling class.
They have empathy too.

The gane was a 2-2 draw, btw.
