    Israel flag

    No need for that in the West stand today. I realise that Marciano is Israeli but doubt very much that it’s a coincidence the first outing of this flag ever at a hibs game is against Celtic. Very petty leave that to the old firm.

    If it is it’s first outing then it is indeed out of order. No place for flag politics at Easter Road.

    All very cringey I suppose but anything that winds up Celtic is fine by me.

    I'm in the west so didn't see it.

    Is it more worthy of a comment than the multiple Palestinian flags in the Celtic end, and the standard banner by "The wurulds best fans ©"?

    If it was for Rocky fair enough. If it was political then it's a no from me.

    If so then fair enough, just feel it’s more than likely someone trying to use politics to wind up Celtic fans bring a hibs flag next time

    Any evidence to support your assumption?

    Best keep out of it, I think. There was a bizarre Old Firm game a few years ago when Septic were waving Palestinian flags and Sevco were waving Israeli flags. And I'd rather we weren't associated with anything Sevco supporters do.

    Rocky was waving to people in the upper tier of the West at the end of the game. Maybe family or friends over?

    Not sure what assumption I’m making? Perhaps I’ve never noticed it before but I’ve been at every game this season apart from Kilmarnock away and never seen this flag before?

    Just rather hibs fans didn’t get involved in politics. What’s wrong with bringing a hibs flag?

    I'd be surprised if a Hibs fan got involved in this. Maybe a family member, or a fan recognises his country?

    That sounds the likely answer then.

    Hope so at least.

    Best leaving israeli and palestinian flags at home, even if it's in support of a player IMO. One hell of a situation over there.

    I'm no fan of the Israeli state politically but I assumed it was in support of Rocky and nothing else. Nothing wrong with it.

    Celtic fans banner was the cringiest thing I’ve seen them do in a while. They seem to have as much of a grasp of the Israel/Palestine situation as Trump.

    Is it any worse than the bigots waving Palestinian flags at him whilst warming up during half time?

    Having an Israeli flag at a football match in which an Israeli International is playing for your team is not a political statement of any sort. It's those weird, obsessive cretins in the away end that take it as such.

    Marciano was absolutely magnificent today too, deserved the support.

    Would imagine it is family/mates of Marciano. Doubt a random hibby would bring an Israeli flag to a game. It can get tae **** either way

    Great to see the Israel flag at the game today showing support for Rocky! Those offended by it need to get a grip.
