The Bhoys, a Celtic fan group, have issued a call to action for supporters in Block 122, emphasizing the need for a more vibrant atmosphere following two contrasting match experiences. In their statement, the group celebrated the electrifying ambiance during the recent Champions League victory over Slovan Bratislava but lamented the lackluster energy during the League Cup clash against Falkirk, dubbing it the “comedown of the century.”
Acknowledging the inherent differences in the significance of these matches, the Bhoys nonetheless insisted that passionate support should be the standard, regardless of the competition. They expressed disappointment at seeing fans in Block 122 disengaged and silent, noting that such behavior detracts from the overall experience and enthusiasm of those around them.
The Bhoys also addressed the influx of fans moving into Block 122 from different sections, reminding them that their presence should contribute positively rather than merely serve as a backdrop for social media. They stressed the importance of maintaining a high level of support throughout every game, encouraging fans to be vocal and engaged from the moment the team steps onto the pitch until the final whistle blows, no matter who the opponents are.
While the Bhoys manage this section with the club’s support, they clarified that Block 122 is open to anyone eager to support Celtic with passion. They are open to suggestions on how to enhance the matchday atmosphere and create a more unified experience for all fans.
In their comprehensive statement, the Bhoys reflected on the previous two matches, highlighting the stark contrast between the thrilling atmosphere against Slovan Bratislava and the disappointing vibe during the Falkirk game. The Champions League match was marked by an infectious energy, with fans collectively creating a spirited environment that invigorated the team and supporters alike. In contrast, the Falkirk match felt lifeless, leaving fans disheartened before the game even began.
While the disparity in match significance is evident, the Bhoys underscored that every game deserves enthusiastic backing. They recognized that while it’s natural for supporters’ energy to fluctuate based on various factors—such as match importance and performance—complete disengagement is unacceptable. They emphasized the need for fans in Block 122 to embody the spirit of Celtic, contributing actively to the atmosphere rather than remaining passive.
As they look ahead to future home games, the Bhoys are urging all fans to bring a renewed energy and consistency to Block 122. They believe that every match offers a chance to express pride in the club, and it’s essential for fans to fully engage in the experience.

The Bhoys concluded by reiterating their commitment to fostering an inclusive atmosphere in Block 122, inviting suggestions for improvement while encouraging all fans to play their part in making every game a memorable occasion.
