The Celtic fan was tragically pronounced dead at the scene in Thorndean Avenue after police were called at around 11.30pm on Wednesday.
The 56-year-old’s passing is currently being treated as ‘unexplained’ by officers who remain in attendance at the property.
We earlier told how neighbours heard “shouting, arguing and screaming” before a 999 police response arrived in the street.
One woman said: “I was in bed about to drift off to sleep and then I heard men shouting and arguing with each other.
“They shouted back and forth very briefly then I heard men screaming loudly. It was really piercing and really loud.
“After that, there were just sirens and the whole street was taped off.
