Heh, it's not like it's just a Scottish phenomenon. I remember all the Celtic fans thought they were being smart when they took Palestine flags for thier game against Hapoel Tel-Aviv, when it turns out Hapoel are the 'liberal' team of Israeli football (IIRC, anyway), and often fly Palestine flags themselves. If they had done it against Beitar Jerusalem on the other hand...

Do football teams in France/Norway/wherever ever have these political connotations?
