Celtic Fan Dies On Way To Game.

<p class="big">A Celtic fan in Milan was killed on Tuesday night after being knocked down in a traffic accident.</p>

The man, who has not been named, was in the city to watch his side's UEFA Champions League tie against the Italian giants.</p>

He was struck by a taxi at shortly before midnight and taken to the Niguarda hospital, but doctors were unable to save him and he died later that evening.</p>

&quot;We can confirm that a British citizen was killed last night in a road traffic accident at 11.30pm involving a taxi,&quot; said Joanne Yeadon, press officer at the Milan consulate.</p>

&quot;Next of kin have been informed. My colleagues are dealing with the authorities and offering consular assistance.&quot;</p>

Italian newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport reported that the victim was a 37-year-old Scottish man.</p>

 

He wasn't on the way to the game

He was out boozing in Milano, and he has been named.

 

RE: He wasn't on the way to the game

If he was on his way to the game he was setting off early, should have stayed in the hotel a bit longer!

 

RE: He wasn't on the way to the game

He was a 46year old(I think) from Cumbernauld, near Glasgow. Can't remember his name!

Milan were trying to keep Celtic fans out of the home end, a harsh way to go about it in my opinion!
