The club have been fined following similar incidents in the past. The flags were distributed to fans outside the stadium by a group called the Green Brigade.
Thousands of Celtic supporters flew Palestine flags ahead of a match despite being asked not to do so by the club. A display in the colours of the flag was in the lower half of the standing section, with thousands of smaller flags seen throughout the ground on Wednesday evening. Two dozen large flags were also flown before Celtic and Atletico Madrid players ran on to the pitch for their Champions League clash.
'Against this backdrop of conflict and pain, sport can promote peace and demonstrate humanity and empathy for all who continue to suffer,' the statement added. Celtic players and coaches had worn black armbands as a 'show of respect and support for all those affected by the conflict' - with the club donating to the International Committee of the Red Cross.
