Nathan McSeveney died in hospital after falling in a stairwell following Scotland's 1-0 win against the Republic of Ireland on Friday.

Scottish FA chief executive Stewart Regan said: "We have all been extremely saddened by the dreadful news since it was relayed to us after the game on Friday.

"The Scottish FA intends to pay its own respects and we believe it is fitting that Nathan’s fellow Scotland supporters have an opportunity to pay tribute to one of their own at Celtic Park."

The Scottish FA announced the tribute after consultation with the family of the 20-year-old from Cumnock, Ayrshire.
