Liel Abada urged to quit Celtic as Israel team-mate tells him 'God will bless you even more'

One of Abada's Israel teammates wants to see him quit the club as the row over the Green Brigade's banner continues.

Liel Abada has been urged to quit Celtic NOW by one of his Israel teammates.

The Scottish Premiership champions issued a statement slamming their own supporters for a banner supporting Palestine and criticising Israel amid an escalating war in the middle east. The Green Brigade slammed the board as 'hypocritical' for their statement that condemned political messages at the stadium.


Former star Nit Bitton also launched a furious attack on those displaying the banners and ten-times capped Israeli international Abada has reportedly met with Hoops senior figures about the position he now finds himself in. But his international colleague Haziza, who plays for his homeland club Maccabi Haifa, has no doubt what the 22-year-old talent should do.

He said: "Liel Abada...you should have moved on from Celtic a long time ago. Go to another club immediately. God will bless you even more if you leave."

Haziza is known as one of the most outspoken sportsmen in Israel and has also vowed never to play football in Turkey after their president Recep Tayyip Erdogan condemned Israel’s bombing of the Gaza Strip, calling it a 'massacre.'

He raged: "I will never set foot in Turkey. Erdogan talks about human rights. Where were the human rights of Israeli women and children who were massacred?"
