    Just caught it on news, sure they said Raymond O'Donnell, 36yr old from Cumbernauld. Hopefully a result tonight can be dedicated to his memory.

    QUOTE (PA)CELTIC FAN KILLED IN MILAN TAXI ACCIDENT
    By Jude Sheerin, Scottish Press Association
    A Celtic fan has died after being knocked down by a taxi ahead of his team’s Champions League clash in Milan.
    Raymond Donnelly, 36, was crossing the northern Italian city’s Via Santa Sofia when he was hit by the car late last night.
    The father of two, thought to be from Cumbernauld in Lanarkshire, was taken to the Niguarda Hospital suffering from serious head injuries but was pronounced dead at 1am.
    Police in Milan said he had been trying to cross the road at 11.27pm yesterday when a cab carrying a passenger struck him.
    Mr Donnelly, technical director for the firm Alfred McAlpine, near Glasgow, was among thousands of supporters of the Scottish club who have descended on Milan to watch their team play AC Milan tonight at the San Siro.
    Joanne Yeadon, spokeswoman at the British Consulate General in Milan, said: “We can confirm a British citizen was killed last night in a road traffic accident at 11.30pm involving a taxi.
    “Next of kin have been informed. My colleagues are dealing with the authorities and offering consular assistance.”
    Former Celtic captain and manager Billy McNeill spoke of his shock at the news.
    The Parkhead legend said: “This is an absolute tragedy. You’ve got a guy who’s gone over there with his pals for a smashing trip and this happens.
    “I was over there in Milan last time Celtic played there and the behaviour of both sets of fans was impeccable.”
    He added: “The fans that go to the away games are a credit not only to their club but to their country, and for something like this to happen is very rare and very sad.”
    Meanwhile, Celtic fans are reported to have been snapping up tickets for the home supporters’ end at the San Siro.
    But Italian officials said any away fan who turned up with a ticket for sections outside their designated area would not be allowed in.
    Despite warnings from Celtic and Strathclyde Police, it has been suggested that at least 6,000 ticketless fans travelled to Milan.
    The Glasgow club are heavy underdogs to beat the Italian giants as they battle to progress to the last eight of the competition.
    Alfred McAlpine paid tribute to Mr Donnelly.
    A spokesman for the firm said: “He was a popular member of our senior management team. He will be sadly missed by all his colleagues.
    “Our thoughts are with his family and friends, and we have offered any support to the family we can.”
    Mr Donnelly had worked for the firm since June 2003.
