Tragic news from Glasgow.

A 22-year-old football fan died last night after falling in a stairwell at Celtic Park, following Scotland’s win over Ireland in the European Championships qualifier.

The man was taken to hospital but later died from his injuries.

Police do not consider the circumstances of the man’s death suspicious and refused to say whether he was a Scotland or Ireland fan, only that he had been in the Scottish section of the stadium.
