    A Celtic fan has died after a collision with a taxi ahead of the team's Champions League clash in Milan.

    The British Consulate General said Raymond Donnelly, 36, was crossing the Via Santa Sofia when the accident happened at 2330 local time on Tuesday.

    British consular officials confirmed that he hailed from Glasgow. Next of kin have been informed.

    Italy's La Gazzetta dello Sport newspaper said Mr Donnelly died at Niguarda Hospital.

    'Consular assistance'

    Thousands of supporters of the Scottish club have descended on the city to watch Celtic play AC Milan at the San Siro in the second leg of their Champions League tie.

    Joanne Yeadon, press officer at the Milan consulate, said: "We can confirm that 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."

    A spokeswoman for the Foreign Office said: "A British national was run over by a taxi last night. He was taken to hospital but unfortunately died."
