Remembrance Silence Cut Short at Celtic Park After Boos From Home Support

BBC's Rob McLean said referee Don Robertson halted the tribute within seconds to prevent further disruption.

Overview

  • Players from Celtic and Kilmarnock stood together in the centre circle for the planned pre‑match observance.
  • A tannoy reminder preceded murmurs that grew into jeering and chants from sections of the home crowd.
  • Some supporters turned their backs as the noise rose, prompting the referee to end the silence in under 20 seconds.
  • Broadcasters described the observance as very brief and framed the decision as an effort to avoid escalation.
  • Celtic resumed play shortly afterward and took the lead soon after, with Johnny Kenny scoring against Kilmarnock.
