Palestinian supporters protest in Glasgow against Ireland-Israel football fixture
Demonstrators outside Celtic Park call for Ireland’s matches with Israel to be canceled, as part of the 'Stop the Game' campaign
Palestinian supporters protested outside Celtic Park in Glasgow to oppose Ireland’s matches against Israel in the Euro Nations League, part of the 'Stop the Game' campaign; two matches are planned in Hungary and Serbia in September and October 2026.
In Glasgow, Scotland, Palestinian supporters gathered outside Celtic Park to protest Ireland’s Euro Nations League fixtures with Israel. Protesters displayed images of Gaza’s martyrs and a red-painted football as a symbol of blood, and chanted against sports normalization with Israel. The demonstration is linked to the 'Stop the Game' campaign, which urges pressure on the Irish Football Association and players to cancel these matches. Ireland is scheduled to face Israel in two Nations League fixtures: September 27, 2026, at Nagyerdei Stadium in Debrecen, Hungary, and October 4, 2026, at TSC Arena in Bačka Topola, Serbia.
