Ultras of Scottish football team Celtic called for Israel to be banned from international competitions during a crunch Champions League tie with Bayern Munich on Wednesday night.
Fans unfurled a large banner reading “Show ‘Israel’ the Red Card” during halftime in a major protest led by the Green Brigades supporter group.
Hundreds of supporters also held up smaller red leaflets distributed by the group carrying the same message.
“At the start of the second half, please Show ‘Israel’ the Red Card to send a direct message to Uefa and Fifa to apply their respective statutes and suspend ‘Israel’ from competition,” the leaflet read.
“By doing so, you will not only be doing the right thing but you will be joining football fans of conscience and courage around the world who will be adopting the same message.” …..more
