Israel legend Eran Zahawi has lauded Celtic star Liel Abada and declared that the Parkhead board banned the Green Brigade BECAUSE of the winger.
The club issued a ban to the Celtic ultras groups after “repeated incidents of unacceptable conduct” – and Maccabi Tel Aviv captain and Abada’s former international teammate Zahawi claims that Abada was involved in the firm action following talks with the club.
Abada is currently sidelined and expected to be out for another couple of months after picking up a thigh injury on international duty in September.
The 22-year-old reportedly held meetings with the Parkhead board over the since-banned Green Brigade’s banners and chants about the Middle East conflict as they showed support for Palestine.
Zahawi heaped praise on Abada, with Celtic punters remaining steadfast in the support of the current plight of the people of Gaza from a humanitarian standpoint.
