In a week where Celtic Park witnessed drama, joy, and celebration as the Hoops secured Champions League knockout football, a touching moment involving a young Celtic supporter and the travelling Young Boys fans has emerged as a true highlight of the night.
Amidst the chaos and jubilation following Celtic’s dramatic 1-0 victory, a video has surfaced showing young Celtic fan Joshua and his dad staying behind long after most of the stadium had emptied. The father-and-son duo remained to soak in the atmosphere, celebrating as the Celtic players completed their post-match lap of appreciation.
What happened next has melted hearts across both fanbases. Spotting the Young Boys supporters still in the stadium waiting to be let out, young Joshua turned to applaud them, showing a level of sportsmanship beyond his years. The away supporters, who had travelled in great numbers to Glasgow, responded in brilliant fashion. They began their familiar “ooooh” chant, building up the energy before recognising Joshua with cheers and bouncing together in unison.
The moment left young Joshua absolutely over the moon, grinning ear to ear as he joined in with the spirited away fans. It was a touching display of mutual respect and footballing camaraderie, showing that the game can transcend rivalries and results.
Full credit goes to the Young Boys supporters for their reaction, proving that even in defeat, they could still share in the joy of the occasion. Their positive energy and sense of fun were clear throughout the night, and this gesture capped off a memorable European trip for them.
It’s something the Celtic faithful can deeply appreciate, knowing what it means to represent your club with pride and good humour on the road, even when you’re on the receiving end of a defeat!
We shared the video on our Facebook page last night and it’s gone viral, such outlets as TNT and even the official Young Boys account has shared it too.
