Celtic Fans Disrupt Remembrance Sunday Silence

A minute's silence for Remembrance Sunday was interrupted after just nine seconds during the Celtic vs. Kilmarnock match, as Celtic fans booed and chanted pro-IRA songs. The disturbance was loud enough for match referee Nick Walsh to call off the silence, which was intended to honor British and Commonwealth servicemen and women. Fans displayed banners denouncing British actions in Gaza and waved Irish and Palestinian flags, leading to criticism from both managers and media commentators. Kilmarnock's manager Derek McInnes condemned the fans' behavior and the premature ending of the silence, expressing disappointment at the lack of respect. Despite the controversy, Celtic went on to win the match 2-1, placing them at the top of the Scottish Premiership table. The incident highlights ongoing tensions surrounding nationalist sentiments within football culture in Scotland.
