    Very sad.

    The match reporter at Ibrox on Radio Scotland was making a huge deal about the poor atmosphere mid-way through the game and blaming it on the fact that the game meant nothing due to the up-coming reconstruction. Reading a few Rangers forums, it appears the fans knew about the guy taking ill and could see him getting CPR for 20 minutes and it was this that caused everyone to be quiet.

    Tragic for the family. I mentioned this to my wife whose unexpected response was 'what was he doing at a football match less than 24 hours since the death of his father.

    That was my original thoughts too. However that doesn't matter. Sad news, a guy left for the fitba today and didn't come back.

    Very sad news when one of our own (a football supporter) goes to the match and doesn't return. RIP.

    To be fair maybe him and his dad went to games together, if he was my son and we went to games together I would want him to still go. It is very sad.

    Football's a game, no more, no less, and no one should go to a game and not return.

    A good friend of mine is a Rangers fan, and was at Ibrox today, my heart dropped when I read this thread, and (apologies to the family of the gentleman involved) lifted when I realised it wasn't him.

    RIP

    He's a neews reporter, a journalist. He's supposed to know what's going on. If the fans cpould work out that something was wrong, he should have been able to do the same.

    Unless he was sitting in the warm studio making it up as he went along.

    Two deaths in two days in that family - that's awful. Condolences to them.

    There isn't really a right thing to do when a loved one dies and as you say it's probably what his Dad would've wanted.

    Does anyone know what happened to the guy today?

    Edit: Just read on a Rangers forum that he had a heart attack.

    I was just chatting online to a mate of mine who is a Rangers fan. He was saying that a large number of Celtic fans have been on Rangers forums leaving their condolences. But also a sizeable minority finding it funny.

    The sad thing is I am not even surprised at that. How the hell can you foster so much hatred that you have no compassion when someone dies? It is only a game.

    On the 'death and football' note, my own dad, a diehard Hibs fan and longtime ST holder, passed away after a battle with cancer on the day of the Hibs v Dunfermline semi final (1st game). My wife phoned me to break the news just as I was about to go through the turnstile at Hampden. My mum hadn't wanted to phone until after the game as it would have spoiled me and my brothers' enjoyment of it! Funny thing is my dad would have thoroughly approved. Watched the full 90 mins and back on the bus home.

    Thought and prayers with the deceased's family. RIP.
