Sky Sports virtually wiped out all coverage of the Celtic support in today’s 4-1 win at Tynecastle today.
Brendan Rodgers and Steven Naismith both gave their views on the vastly reduced allocation of away tickets for the match.
As the teams came out the tunnel for the match there was an outburst of booing from almost all of the home fans- with no explanation offered by commentator Ian Crocker.
Fortunately social media was able to supply the answer with hundreds of Palestine flags raised among the 571 away supporters.

With the allocation of tickets given to members of the Green Brigade withdrawn for today’s match the display came from the keenest of the Celtic away support, fans that have been taking every ticket offered over the last decade or so.
The away fans were treated to two goals at their end in the first half, the portion of the Roseburn Stand reserved for home fans was less than one third full.
Celtic missed a penalty early in the second half but dominated throughout with their goals coming from Matt O’Riley, Daizen Maeda, Kyogo Furuhashi and substitute Tomoki Iwata.
