The Swiss fans created an unforgettable evening for young Celtic supporter Joshua by delivering an incredible gesture of goodwill. After the game, with the stands almost empty, the Young Boys supporters gave Joshua a standing ovation, clapping and mimicking his enthusiastic gestures by jumping and clapping along with him.
Joshua’s father captured the heartwarming moment on video, expressing his deep gratitude to the Young Boys fans for their incredible kindness toward his son.
