RARE PHOTOS: Kneecap abu banner displayed in celtic end as message of support for rap group - The Real Truth

A message of support for rap group Kneecap has been unveiled by Celtic supporters at Hampden.

A banner raised behind the goal, by the Bhoys supporters group, read: "Kneecap Abu". The phase translates to 'Kneecap Forever' or 'Up Kneecap'.

A second display just rows in front stated: "Free Palestine".

It comes after a member of Kneecap, Liam Og O hAnnaidh, was charged by the Metropolitan Police with a terror offence.

The 27-year-old allegedly displayed a flag in support of Hezbollah at a London gig in November last year.

Kneecap responded in a statement on social media: "We deny this 'offence' and will vehemently defend ourselves.

"This is political policing. This is a carnival of distraction.

"14,000 babies are about to die of starvation in Gaza, with food sent by the world sitting on the other side of a wall, and once again the British establishment is focused on us."

The Celtic fan display follows a similar message of support for Kneecap which appeared on Belfast's Black Mountain on Friday.

Large lettering read: "Kneecap Abu". The rap group shared the image on their social media account.
