The Iran 'hair cut' gesture England and Wales have been asked to do for goal celebrations

England and Wales have been urged to use goal celebrations to help bring down the current Iranian regime, amid ongoing protests over women's rights that have so far gripped the Islamic Republic.

Gareth Southgate's side kick off their World Cup campaign against Iran on Monday, and it remains to be seen whether there will be any reference to the ongoing protests against the Iranian government, which have been steadily growing over the last few weeks.

At least 326 people have been killed and 15,000 more arrested across Iran since the demonstrations, sparked by the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini, started. Amini was arrested for allegedly flouting the country's dress rules and later died in custody.
