Young Celtic fan dies suddenly as heartbroken mum in plea for Old Firm applause
The heartbroken mum of a young Celtic fan who died suddenly has asked football supporters to get behind a one-minute applause in his memory during the Old Firm.
Leon Brown, 14, from Cumbernauld, passed away on Thursday August 25, leaving his mum Lauryn Keating and loved ones devastated.
Tributes have poured in for the popular Our Ladies High School pupil, after his mum took to social media to announce the shocking news.
She wrote: "This morning my whole world came crashing down around me. The love of my life, my best friend, my son Leon passed away during the night.

Scots OAP left without cash for 10 weeks after Santander freeze account in bungled fraud probe
An 84-year-old pensioner was forced to live off his credit card after Santander froze his bank account for ten weeks amid a bungled fraud probe. James Campbell, who is hard of hearing and sight impaired, made repeated trips to his local branch in East Kilbride in a bid to fix the error but staff were unable to help.
The OAP’s daughter Elaine told how they believe the issue was sparked by the retired RAF policeman trying to move funds from one account to another online back in June. The Santander fraud team blocked the account and launched an investigation but it left the grandad-of-five without access to his money meaning he was unable to pay care home fees for his wife.
Despite repeated phone calls in a bid to get answers, Elaine, 60, said they felt like they were just ‘banging their heads against a wall’ while her father racked up fees and charges on the credit card. After being contacted by the Daily Record, Santander lifted the block and apologised for the delay while also offering James compensation.

Catherine McAffrey, 33, was in the vehicle with her brother and eight-year-old son when she claims the brakes suddenly failed as she was taking the turn off from the motorway onto Stepps Road. The bonnet of her Vauxhall Astra caught fire, forcing the family to get out the motor and run to safety, reports Glasgow Live.
Catherine, who lives in Easterhouse in Glasgow, said: "I was coming off the motorway and went to brake, and the brakes were totally gone. I was coming up to traffic lights and the brakes weren't working.
"I was screaming and my brother grabbed the steering wheel. Then the whole front bonnet went up in flames and we had to escape as fast as possible.
