Celtic fans were heard booing during the minute’s silence to honour Remembrance Day.<\/p>\n

Sky Sports commentators were forced to apologise after the booing disrupted the pre-match ritual to honour those who gave their lives during conflict. Concerns were raised before the game about possible disruption as the\u00a0Scottish Premiership leaders welcomed Aberdeen to Celtic Park<\/p>\n

Referee Willie Collum stopped the silence after around 30 seconds. And, as players prepared to kick-off, Sky commentator Ian Crocker addressed the booing.<\/p>\n
