The Celtic support applauded on the 14th minute, in memory of 14-yard-old Aoibhe Byrne.

The Celtic support proved Aoibhe Byrne's family "will never walk alone" with its tribute to the late Carrickmacross teenager on Sunday.

That's according to Monaghan Town's Jim Greenan, whose viral tweet called for the fans to be upstanding in the 14th minute of a recent game against Rangers, in memory of 14-year-old Aoibhe.

Jim was at the game on Sunday and said he never doubted that the Celtic fans would follow through in the show of support.
