Their ongoing displays of support for Palestine are highlighted in the coverage, especially at home games and UEFA Champions League fixtures.

Press TV, an Iranian station, prominently featured an image of the group waving Palestine flags during the Champions League play versus Atletico Madrid.

The channel, which is the only organization in Iran with the legal right to transmit radio and television, featured a piece on the Green Brigade’s operations during its show “Palestine Declassified.”

The Green Brigade was originally prohibited by Parkhead officials for a portion of the season, but they have subsequently been invited back. Press TV referred to their return to Celtic Park as “triumphant,” especially after a game versus Livingston.

The group’s operations coincide with the ongoing fighting that has attracted international attention between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza area.
