Scotland fan dies after Celtic Park fall

A Scotland fan has died after falling down a stairwell during his country's Euro 2016 qualifier against the Republic of Ireland.

Nathan McSeveney, 20, from Cumnock in Ayrshire, was rushed to Glasgow Royal Infirmary from Exit 33 of Celtic Park but later died.

A Police Scotland spokesman said: "There are no suspicious circumstances. A report will be prepared for the procurator fiscal."

Meanwhile, a statement on Celtic's official website read: "Everyone at Celtic Football Club is deeply saddened to learn of the death of a young supporter following last night's match between Scotland and the Republic of Ireland.

"This was a terrible, tragic incident and our sincere thoughts and prayers are with the young man's family at this time."

Fifty-five thousand fans saw Scotland triumph over their rivals thanks to a single Shaun Maloney goal.
