Can Celtic sue the IDF for defamation or something? This seems like a gross misuse of copyright at least.

Just to clarify a little. It was the Celtic supporters who raised the money after UEFA fined the club for the fans waving Palestinian flags at a European game.

By the way I was one of those who donated.

Aye I'm a rangers fan and was good seeing celtic fans doing that. When it was Ukraine it was full of support and Russia banned, when its Israel its oh no football and politics don't belong together. Always different when it's Israel..
