The administrative body for football in Europe charged the Bhoys with a fine over the “illicit banner” display during the recent clash at Parkhead.
Supporters group The Green Brigade group then launched an appeal on the Gofundme website to match Uefa’s fine and have since met their target.
On the page, here, Celtic fans state: “At the Champions League match with Hapoel Beer Sheva on 17 August 2016, the Green Brigade and fans throughout Celtic Park flew the flag for Palestine.
“This act of solidarity has earned Celtic respect and acclaim throughout the world. It has also attracted a disciplinary charge from Uefa, which deems the Palestinian flag to be an ‘illicit banner’.
“In response to this petty and politically partisan act by European football’s governing body we are determined to make a positive contribution to the game and today launch a campaign to #matchthefineforpalestine.
“We aim to raise £75,000 which will be split equally between Medical Aid Palestine and the Lajee Centre, a Palestinian cultural centre in Aida Refugee Camp on the outskirts of Bethlehem.”
Celtic’s case will be heard next month.
