FANTASTIC

Bern outfit make Joshua mascot after Parkhead gesture

- BY JOHN-PAUL CLARK

A YOUNG Celtic follower has partied with Young Boys in Switzerland after footage captured him meeting their fans in Glasgow this year.

A viral clip from January showed eight-year-old Joshua McLaughlin and his dad Kevin walking over to applaud the away fans at Celtic Park after being blown away by the atmosphere they created during the Champions League game fixture.

Fans of the Bern club have since taken wee Joshua to their hearts and he has visited twice in recent months.

Joshua and Kevin enjoyed an all-expenses paid trip to Switzerland in April, where the youngster from Elderslie, Renfrewshire, was asked to be the club mascot for the day during the game with Yverdon Sport FC.

Joshua then begged his dad to go over again during the school holidays and they were given a warm reception from the locals last weekend.
