Amid growing tensions in the Gaza region, Israeli football analyst Avishai Sela said that Lionel Abada’s tenure at Celtic was “finished”.

The Scottish Premiership champions released a statement condemning the activities of Israel in the Middle East and berating their own supporters for flying a banner in favour of Palestine. The board was criticised by the Green Brigade for being “hypocritical” in their statement denouncing political slogans shown at the stadium.

The ten-time capped Israeli international Abada allegedly talked with senior Hoops figures regarding his current situation amid the back and forth. Furthermore, Sela maintains that the problem might be the end of his career in the Scottish Premiership, claiming the winger had demonstrated “extraordinary courage” by demanding the meetings.

“Abada will not fold, and it’s a good thing, and the Celtic crowd will probably continue to wave Palestinian flags and protest against Israel. It is absolutely clear that it will also lead to boos towards Abada, every time he plays. Abada will make his own decisions. But one thing must be appreciated – and that is the willingness to stand up for oneself.

“I don’t judge the situation in terms of value, it seems that Liel Abada has finished his role at Celtic. It’s hard to imagine him playing for fans who don’t want him. Even if the financial situation seems complex, in the end – in all the cases that we know of – it is decided in the player’s favour. And the player’s best interest is to find his place elsewhere.”
