Celtic fans surpass €50,000 in fundraising for Palestinian charities

Celtic face a punishment from UEFA for displaying Palestinian flags.

Celtic fans have tripled their initial target of raising £15,000 (€17,400) for Palestinian charities in a bid to match an impending UEFA fine for their club.

The European governing body last week launched disciplinary proceedings against Celtic after a number of fans displayed Palestinian flags during their 5-2 Champions League victory against Israel's Hapoel Be'er Sheva in Glasgow.
