by Joe McHugh Youth team boss Stevie Frail has saluted the Celtic support that roared his side to victory at Hampden last night.
The Green Brigade, plus reinforments, were out in force backing the young hoops from the warm up through until the final celebrations.
After the match the players joined in wild celebrations with the fans with Frail leading the praise for the twelth man at Hampden.
He said: "The crowd were absolutely fantastic, we owe them a big thank you.
"They kept us going right from the first whistle. Before we finished the warm up they started teaming in and I couldn't believe how many were there.
"They were terrific, they gave the team a lot of backing and the celebrations at the end were fantastic."
Two years ago Richie Towell was a loser at Hampden but the right-back lapped up every moment of last night's success with his own personal support group over from Dublin for the occassion.
He said: "Our fans were brilliant. They outsung the Rangers fans all through the game and really were like a twelfth man.
“At the start of the second half we looked over at the fans who were singing their hearts out and that gave us a lift.
“When the goals went in it was an amazing feeling. Two years ago I lost in this final to Rangers so this was very sweet.
“My family and a few friends flew over for the match, it was great to celebrate with them afterwards."
