A SCOTLAND fan who volunteered as a nurse in Gaza has gone viral for shouting "free Palestine" after spotting an Israeli flag at Scotland's game against Brazil.
Irish-born Ceire Ni Ghribin – who now lives in the United Arab Emirates and previously volunteered as a nurse in Gaza – was filmed shouting "free Palestine" multiple times while holding her child after she saw three men holding an Israeli flag following the match in Miami.
When she sees the camera, she says to those filming: "I was a nurse in Gaza, I volunteered in Gaza, I've seen what happens.
"There's a genocide, free Palestine."

The video is circulating online and the original has garnered more than two million views.
In response, Ghribin posted online: "There was three guys with an Israeli flag that had no reason to be bringing politics into a Scotland vs Brazil game, and I stand by what I said.
"I was there. It's a genocide."
She further added "Israeli flags are for Israeli football games" and "should have added free Lebanon too".
Ghribin volunteered in January 2024, travelling to Rafah, Gaza, where she treated children and managed donations.
In an interview with United Arab Emirates media, in February 2024 in Rafah, she said: "I've been living and working in Abu Dhabi for the last three years.
"I'm very passionate about what's been happening in Gaza – particularly for the last few months – but my initial interest started years ago.
"I've been emailing back and forth with charities trying to get here, so whenever the opportunity came up to volunteer as a nurse, I jumped at it.
"I'm very proud to be here, especially with my medical background. Previously, I have lived and worked in other countries, and if I hadn't been there I would never have got this opportunity – so thanks to the UAE, we can come and work and benefit the people of Gaza.
"It's a very humbling experience, but it's also incredible. The teamwork here, everything that has been going on to help the citizens has been incredible. I'm really, really, proud and I'm so grateful to be here."
