The Story in 60 Seconds

Referee John Beaton cut short a Remembrance Sunday minute's silence after just 12 seconds due to audible boos from a section of Celtic supporters at Parkhead. The disruption occurred ahead of Celtic's Scottish Premiership match against Kilmarnock on November 8, 2026. Celtic TV reportedly lowered its broadcast volume to mute the noise as both teams stood assembled in the center circle.

Kilmarnock players wore shirts featuring commemorative poppies, whereas Celtic shirts did not include the symbol. The incident took place alongside ongoing protests by the Green Brigade ultras group against the Celtic board, leaving their designated stadium section largely empty at kickoff. On the pitch, Celtic secured a 1-0 victory over Kilmarnock courtesy of a goal scored by Liam Scales.
