A Scottish mum says it's a 'miracle' her son survived a horrifying fall from the top tier of Ibrox stadium at Saturday's Harry Styles concert in Glasgow.
Marion Hawkins told the Daily Record that 20-year-old Dylan Wood was placed on life support but incredibly escaped the horror plunge with just two black eyes, bruising and concussion.
The electrical engineer from East Kilbride was enjoying a works night out in a VIP box when he lost his balance and fell over a barrier landing on seats several feet below, knocking him unconscious.

He was rushed to Glasgow's Queen Elizabeth University Hospital's high dependency unit and placed on life support, but miraculously escaped with only minor injuries and could be allowed home later today.
Mum-of-four Marion said shocking video footage of the moment her son plunged head first into the packed crowd below left her feeling sick to her stomach.
"We didn't know what injuries he had so he was put on a ventilator to keep him stable", she said. "It was touch and go that night but the scans came back all clear and he has no broken bones.
"It's a complete miracle he's still here, walking away with just cuts and scrapes. I was ill watching the video of it.
"Dylan was crying on the phone to me today, I think it's just hitting home for him how serious it was and how close he got to not being here."
Traumatised witnesses told how Dylan fell from the Club Deck, above the Main Stand, towards the end of the show and watched in horror as paramedics performed CPR on him.
Sharing Dylan's account of what happened, Marion added: "Dylan told me he was leaning up against the bannister in the VIP box and remembered thinking it was quite low down.
"He can't remember exactly, it's a bit of a blur, but he thinks he went to lean against it, misjudged it and fell back. It all just happened so quickly.
"He was knocked out and remembers coming to and getting a fright as people were grabbing at him. Paramedics were called and they got him out of there and worked on him in the ambulance before taking him to hospital.
"I just panicked when I got the call and drove straight there. But he's doing good now and I hope to get him home today, I need him home.
"I can't stop thinking about it. I hope it was just a freak accident but I'll be fuming if it turns out the barrier was too low and someone is at fault.

"The main thing is he's okay. He's a very lucky boy."
