Celtic FC supporters are calling on the Scottish football club to stop a reported £2 million ($2.68m) transfer deal for Israeli club Maccabi Netanya striker Jocelin Ta Bi.

Fans and activists say the club should not conduct any financial transactions with a firm based in Israel amid its ongoing genocide in the Gaza Strip, as millions of football fans around the world rally in support of a sports boycott of Israel.

"This is not just an ordinary football transfer deal. Israeli clubs are not neutral sporting bodies," the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI) said in a post.

"Celtic Football Club should refuse to do business with a team representing apartheid Israel - a regime committing genocide in Gaza, killing tens of thousands of Palestinians, including 800+ sportspeople, and systematically damaging or destroying all sporting infrastructure," PACBI added.
