Sky Sports commentator Ian Crocker issued an on-air apology after a minute's silence was disrupted ahead of the Scottish Premiership match between Kilmarnock and Celtic.
Kilmarnock officials had organised a moment of silence ahead of the match to pay respects on Remembrance Sunday.
A message over the sound system at Rugby Park had urged supporters to join in a minute's silence after Kyle Vassell placed a wreath in the centre circle.
However, booming chants from the visiting support could be heard throughout the proposed minute's silence.
Celtic supporters also held aloft a banner citing the ongoing Israel-Palestine conflict.
It read: "From Balfour to Starmer. The crimes of the empire live on. Britain is committing genocide in Gaza."
After the whistle to signal the end of the minute's silence, Crocker apologised to viewers over any offense at the disruption.
He said: "Sorry if you were offended for the disturbance to the silence."
A Kilmarnock social media post read: "Paying respect.
"A period of silence observed impeccably by the Kilmarnock supporters."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
