This is the moment that a Celtic fan was wrestled to the ground by German police over a Palestine flag.
Footage, widely shared online, has emerged of a Hoops fan embroiled in a heated encounter with the force in Dortmund last night.
Brendan Rodgers' side were thumped 7-1 on matchday two of this season's Champions League in what was another humiliating result for the Northern Irishman in Europe.

However, last season's runners-up were on top of their game as they put another six past the Scottish Premiership champions to romp home to victory.
Numerous Palestine flags were on display in the away end atĀ Westfalenstadion.
However, this Celtic fan was caught up in a flashpoint with cops on the stairwell during the game.

Meanwhile, formerĀ CelticĀ and Borussia Dortmund greatĀ Paul LambertĀ has shared his thoughts on what went wrong for the Parkhead side in Germany.
Reflecting on the match onĀ talkSPORTĀ on Wednesday morning, Lambert said: āI never said it yesterday, but thatās exactly what can happen in that stadium. Youāve got to be a big, big player there to handle that atmosphere. If you donāt handle that, thatās exactly what can happen.
āAnd I think thereās going to be criticism coming Celticās way, but I think youāve got to put it into perspective."
