Family of dead football fan to sue Celtic FC

The family of a football fan who died at Celtic Park after an international match are taking legal action against the club.

Nathan Mcseveney, 20, from Cumnock in East Ayrshire, fell in a stairwell following Scotland’s European Championship qualifier against the Republic of Ireland at Celtic Park in November 2014. He was taken to hospital but later died.

Thompsons Solicitors said Celtic “failed in its duty of care”. The Glasgow club said it did not accept liability, while maintaining “considerable sympathy” with the Mcseveney family.
