Scotland

Another match, another flag controversy for the UEFA Champions League — and this time Celtic supporters were innocent bystanders.

Celtic knew going into their Champions League encounter with Barcelona that getting a result against a side reinforced by the return of Brazilian great Neymar would be an extremely difficult task. 

They couldn’t have imagined just how well the MSN reunion would go for the Blaugrana.

The attacking trio were nothing short of sensational at the Camp Nou, playing a part in all seven Barca goals.

Neymar started things off by setting up Messi’s first, the Argentine finishing with a powerful left-footed shot.

Celtic’s star-in-the-making striker Moussa Dembele netted three goals on Saturday, helping the Hoops to a 5-1 over Old Firm rivals Rangers at Celtic Park.

But while Dembele, who signed from Fulham over the summer, may have dominated the first Glasgow Derby in four years, he is hardly the first multi-goal hero for the Bhoys in the history of the Old Firm.

In fact, the Frenchman, who idolizes Thierry Henry and Nicolas Anelka, is only the latest goal poacher. Here are some of the most notable goal-scoring efforts for Celtic in Old Firm History:

Celtic captain Scott Brown may have played his last game for Scotland, but the Hoops have a storied history of players who have represented the club’s home country with honor and distinction, despite perceptions that those running the national team have historically been biased against players wearing the Hoops.

With the current international break winding down, here is a list of some of the greatest-ever Celts to represent Scotland on the world stage, with photo and video highlights:

Celtic put on a display on the park on Saturday, winning the first Old Firm match in four years over arch-rival Rangers 5-1.

But it was the Celtic supporters' group, the Green Brigade, that stole the show in the stands.

Wayne Rooney announced this week that the 2018 World Cup will be his last for England’s national team. For some, his departure couldn’t come soon enough — if only because supporters are anxious to see new faces on the squad that seems to never fail to disappoint.

The Three Lions’ flop at Euro 2016, and the changes in its aftermath, have only fueled these desires.

Celtic fans with scarves have been in the news a lot lately, but we're here to talk about a Celtic fan waving something that isn't a scarf and definitely doesn't have anything to do with certain idealistic conflicts in the Middle East.

It has to do with a child.

Not Liverpool, but love this picture so much

Last week, during a UEFA Champions League qualifying playoff match against Israeli side Hapoel Be’er Sheva at Celtic Park, supporters of the Glasgow club raised Palestinian flags to raise awareness of what they describe as “the system of apartheid laws and practices including religious and ethnic based colonisation, military occupation and segregation” in Palestinian land.
