Does anyone know what the banner which got everyone so excited actually said? I saw a quick flash of it on SSN but couldn't make it out.

Celtic fans who unfurled an anti-poppy banner at a home game on Saturday face a life ban from the Parkhead stadium.
The club and the Scottish Premier League are holding separate probes into the incident during the game when a banner displaying ‘Ireland, Iraq, Afghanistan. No bloostained poppy on our Hoops’ was seen.
Celtic confirmed it was considering a lifetime ban for those involved in the demo which sparked anger among service personnel. Poppyscotland charity said it accepted Celtic’s apology.
Ex-Defence Secretary and club chairman Dr John Reid is said to have been deeply offended by the demo with club spokesman saying the action had “embarrassed Celtic and tarnished the club”, adding “These actions have no place at Celtic Park.”
A Royal British Legion Scotland spokesman said: “Any disrespect shown to the memory of the fallen has always been the work of a minority. Celtic and their supporters have a long record of serving their country … as fine as that of any club.”
