CELTIC FANS CREATE SAVAGE,TAUNTING AND CRACKING UP CHANT FOR MOTHERWELL PLAYERS,THEY HEARD EVERY SINGLE WORD OF IT
The atmosphere inside Celtic F.C.’s iconic stadium was already electric long before the final whistle confirmed a convincing 3–1 victory over Motherwell F.C.. The match itself delivered goals, drama, and moments of brilliance. But what many people are now talking about has little to do with tactics or the scoreline.
Instead, the biggest talking point after the game came from the stands.
According to the visiting manager Jens Berthel Askou, the chants directed at his players by sections of the Celtic support were so brutal and relentless that he could hear every word from the touchline.
And he didn’t try to hide his feelings afterward.
“I can’t lie… what they were saying to my players when they got the ball was very terrible,” he admitted after the match.
The comments immediately ignited debate among supporters across Scotland and online. Some called it typical Old Firm-style intensity, while others claimed the chants crossed a line rarely heard in modern football.
But to understand how the tension reached that point, you have to rewind to the beginning of what became a dramatic afternoon at Celtic Park.
Celtic Start With Relentless Energy
From the very first whistle, it was clear that Celtic were in no mood to drop points.
The home crowd sensed it instantly.
The pressure started early as Celtic pushed forward with pace and aggression, and their attacking line looked sharp. Much of that attacking threat revolved around South Korean winger Yang Hyun‑jun, who would go on to become the standout performer of the night.
Every time Yang touched the ball, the crowd rose.
And every time Motherwell tried to build from the back, the roar from the stands grew louder.
It didn’t take long for the breakthrough to arrive.
Yang Ignites Celtic Park
In the 38th minute, Yang delivered the moment the fans had been waiting for.
Receiving the ball in space, the winger darted inside with pace before unleashing a finish that left the goalkeeper with little chance. The stadium exploded into celebration.
The goal gave Celtic a 1–0 lead, but more importantly it ignited the crowd.
Chants began rolling around the stadium in waves.
For Celtic supporters, it was just another moment of passion and pride. But for the visiting players, it marked the start of something far more intimidating.
Motherwell players began hearing chants every time they touched the ball.
At first, they tried to ignore it.
But as the game progressed, it became impossible not to notice.
Motherwell Fight Back
Despite the hostile atmosphere, Motherwell refused to collapse.
They responded bravely and managed to pull themselves back into the game when Just found the net in the 32nd minute earlier in the match, temporarily silencing the home crowd.
For a moment, the tension inside the stadium shifted.
Motherwell players celebrated passionately, while the Celtic fans responded with louder chants and songs.
But instead of intimidating Celtic, the equalizer seemed to spark something inside them.
The response was immediate.
Celtic Take Control Again
The second half saw Celtic ramp up their attacking intensity.
Midfielders like Reo Hatate and Alex Oxlade‑Chamberlain worked tirelessly to control possession, while the backline—featuring experienced defender Kieran Tierney—kept Motherwell’s attacking threats under control.
Then came the moment that swung the game permanently.
In the 72nd minute, Celtic were awarded a penalty after a clumsy challenge in the box. The decision sparked protests from Motherwell players, but the referee stood firm.
When Václav Čvančara stepped up to take the penalty, the stadium fell into a tense silence.
One strike later, Celtic were back in front.
2–1.
The roar that followed could probably be heard across Glasgow.
The Chant That Everyone Heard
But it was what happened after that goal that truly changed the tone of the evening.
As Motherwell players prepared to restart the game, sections of the crowd began directing a chant specifically toward them.
It was loud.
It was relentless.
And according to manager Jens Berthel Askou, it was something he hadn’t heard in a very long time.
“I heard it clearly,” he said later.
“When our players received the ball, they started the chant again and again.”
The chant quickly spread across the stands, with thousands joining in.
For Celtic fans, it was part of the fierce football culture that defines matches at Celtic Park. For Motherwell players, it felt more like a psychological barrage.
Every misplaced pass…
Every defensive clearance…
Every moment on the ball…
The chant returned.
Yang Strikes Again
As the noise inside the stadium intensified, Celtic delivered the final blow.
In the 79th minute, Yang produced another moment of brilliance.
The winger broke free again down the flank before finishing confidently for his second goal of the match, sealing a 3–1 victory.
Celtic Park erupted once more.
The result was beyond doubt.
But the chanting continued until the final whistle.
For the home fans, it was the sound of triumph.
For the visitors, it was something else entirely.
Motherwell Manager Speaks Out
After the game, reporters asked Motherwell manager Jens Berthel Askou about the atmosphere.
His response was honest—and slightly stunned.
“I can’t lie, what they were saying to my players when they got the ball… it was very terrible.”
He paused before continuing.
“This kind of chant… I haven’t heard it used for a long time.”
The comments immediately sparked debate among fans online.
Some supporters argued that intense chanting is simply part of football, especially in stadiums like Celtic Park where the atmosphere is famously passionate.
Others suggested that the chant crossed a line.
Regardless of opinion, one thing was certain:
Everyone was talking about it.
Celtic Fans Defend Their Passion
Celtic supporters were quick to respond to the criticism.
Many argued that the chanting was simply part of the unique atmosphere that makes Scottish football so famous.
Celtic Park has long been considered one of the loudest and most intimidating stadiums in Europe.
Opponents often speak about how difficult it is to play there.
Former players have described it as a place where the crowd feels like an extra player on the pitch.
And on this night, that feeling was stronger than ever.
Every Celtic tackle, pass, and goal was greeted with thunderous support.
Every Motherwell touch was met with noise.
For many fans, that’s exactly what football should be.
Social Media Erupts
Within minutes of the match ending, clips from the game and fan reactions began circulating online.
Some videos captured the moment when the chant started spreading through the stands.
Others focused on Yang’s incredible performance.
The comment sections quickly filled with debate.
Some fans wrote:
- “That atmosphere is why Celtic Park is legendary.”
- “Motherwell players looked rattled.”
- “You can’t complain about chants in football.”
But others had a different opinion.
A few users questioned whether certain chants should still be used in modern football.
The discussion grew rapidly, with thousands joining in.
Yang Emerges As The Hero
Lost slightly in the controversy surrounding the chants was the incredible performance from Yang Hyun-jun.
The winger finished the match with two goals and a match rating above 9, making him the clear standout player.
His speed, movement, and finishing caused constant problems for Motherwell’s defense.
Every time he touched the ball, the crowd sensed something special might happen.
And more often than not, it did.
His performance will likely dominate tactical analysis in the coming days.
But on this night, the story became something bigger.
Football’s Eternal Debate
Moments like this highlight one of football’s oldest debates.
Where is the line between passionate support and unsporting behavior?
For some fans, chanting and taunting opponents is simply part of the culture of the game.
For others, certain chants can go too far.
The truth probably lies somewhere in the middle.
What’s undeniable is that football without passionate supporters would feel very different.
And at Celtic Park, passion is never in short supply.
The Final Whistle
When the referee blew the final whistle, the scoreboard read:
Celtic 3 – 1 Motherwell
Players shook hands, the crowd applauded their heroes, and the stadium slowly emptied.
But the conversation surrounding the chants had only just begun.
For Motherwell manager Jens Berthel Askou, it was a reminder of just how intense football atmospheres can be.
For Celtic fans, it was another unforgettable night supporting their club.
And for everyone watching, it was proof of one thing:
When football, emotion, and rivalry collide inside a packed stadium, anything can become the story of the night.
