I see absolutely no issue with singing Nationalistic songs / Rebel songs, it’s a song & a way of celebrating a victory against an old foe. It’s not really surprising that the Spanish believe strongly that Gibraltar belongs to them just as I’d imagine if Morocco beat Spain in the World Cup Ceuta & Melilla may be sang about……

However Rodri should be suspended from any pointless international friendly for the foreseeable future.

The difference is Gibraltar have an FA that made a complaint about the song, not sure about Ceuta.
