Images are * now, have to do the tags manually.

 

Celtic fined £10,000.

We more than matched the fine for Palestine.

 

Great post.

 

Not even that, 10k euros...bout 8 and a half grand sterling.

Uefa got a * cheek fining us for flying a flag the UN is happy to fly.

 

Much did we raise and has the money been handed over ? if so who to and is there any pictures etc of the handover

Outstanding stuff from the Green Brigade

 

Following the huge success of the #matchthefineforpalestine campaign we are delighted to invite supporters to join us on the Celtic Way at 12pm on the 29th January (before the 1pm kick-off against Hearts) as we hand over cheques to two Palestinian charities.

The campaign began in response to UEFA's decision to bring disciplinary charges against Celtic for fans flying the Palestinian flag at our match against Hapoel Be'er Sheva. This act of solidarity with the oppressed and occupied people of Palestine attracted a €10,000 fine which our supporters so brilliant surpassed - and then some.

More than £176,000 was raised as the #matchthefineforpalestine campaign captured the kindness of Celtic fans and the attention of the world, bringing a spotlight on Israel's 66 year-long occupation. The money raised will be split equally between the Lajee Centre in Aida refugee camp and Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP). The Lajee Centre is at the heart of Bethlehem's second largest refugee camp and offers its people hope and an escape from the realities of life under occupation. It will soon also play host to Aida Celtic, a football team inspired and funded by your donations. MAP is a UK-based charity which delivers delivers vital health and medical care to Palestinians worst affected by conflict, occupation and displacement.

We have been inundated with messages of gratitude and thanks from many thousands of people across Palestine and beyond. The Lajee Centre and MAP are also keen to pass on their thanks to everyone who contributed to the campaign and with them, we look forward to seeing you on the 29th as we show, once again, that we truly are a club like no other.

 

That's huge sum raised, we might well set a precedent that other clubs will follow us which would be even more of a * you to the fascist UEFA scumbags.

 

As some of you will know, the Green Brigade are officially handing over the cheque to the Palestinian charities before the Hearts match on Sunday 29th at the Celtic Way. The Palestinian representatives arrive in Glasgow on the Friday, and we felt it was a great chance to host a public event to celebrate the great work of the Celtic support in raising such an astonishing sum of money, as well as give us all a chance to speak to them about everyday life in Palestine.

We will start the night with an informal talk, followed by a Q+A with a couple of short videos in between. The Wakes will then finish off what promises to be a cracking and informative evening. Entry on the night is free so come along and celebrate what was a superb Celtic fan initiative and find out more about the difference this money will make to the people of Palestine.
