Joshua has since been invited out to Berne to take in Young Boys' game against Yverdon last weekend. It ended in a 1-1 draw, and he walked out with captain Loris Benito as a mascot pre-match.
In a classy gesture, Celtic have now invited Joshua to watch this afternoon's match against Kilmarnock from the director's box:

Celtic can take a considerable step towards securing the Scottish Premiership title with a victory against Derek McInnes' side.
They were beaten 1-0 by St Johnstone last time out, however, as Daniels Balodis' first-half header proved crucial.
Manager Brendan Rodgers is hoping for a reaction today: "If we're going to be champions then we want to show why we're a champion," he said.
"We want to have that mentality, strong performances and like I say, I spoke before about sprinting over the line and for us it's about getting over the line and everyone is anticipating that it will be done, but it's not done until you actually get the points.
"I think part of my frustration also last week was that the opportunity to win at home, I think the last time we were able to do that, I was lucky enough my first time here was 2018."
