A memorial football match has been held for a Celtic fan who died suddenly after watching game with his dad.
Christopher Mcgonagle, 24, was tragically found dead at home in Dalmuir on Wednesday May 12 after watching cheering on the Hoops with his dad.
His cause of death is not known at this time.
His distraught family have been left in ‘shock’ over the tragedy and last night released green, white, and gold balloons after the match at Antonie sports centre in Duntocher in his memory.
The event was organised by his team, the Duntocher black stars, who planned the game and vowed that Christopher’s number 19 would never play again.
They also set up a memorial cup which will be played every year in his memory.
The squad gathered and made heartfelt speeches in tribute of the tragic 24-year-old before applauding his memory.
They then released balloons and said ‘fly high brother’.
Christophers cousin Lynn Goff posted on Facebook: “He should have been playing on that pitch tonight but he was watching from the sky instead.
“Massive thank you to everyone at his club for showing Christopher and the whole family so much love and support, what a beautiful bunch of people you all are.
“Gone too soon, our hearts are broken.”
Lynn told the Daily Record: “It was perfect, the Duntocher black stars really are a gorgeous bunch of souls, their words towards Christopher and gave him a great night.
“They said he'll be sorely missed and his shirt number, number 19, will never be played on the pitch again."
Lynn previously told how no one was aware of any previous health conditions he faced and how he was 'always smiling.'
She said: “Christopher was the kindest boy, an amazing son and loved by many.
“We don't know how he died.
“He watched the Celtic match with his dad, then an hour later they found him dead on the floor of his bedroom.
“He cheered and jumped with joy every time they scored that night, as he always did. He was a huge Celtic fan.
“He used to do the old folks' gardens and was always smiling.”
Lynn also paid tribute to her tragic cousin on social media writing that he had his future ‘whipped away from him'.
Christphers fiance, Rachel Mcbain, was also left shattered by his death and paid tribute on social media saying: “One week ago tonight I got that dreaded phone call saying that my fiance has sadly passed away.
“I can't believe you have gone a week already, I'm still thinking you are just going to turn up at my door with that smile on your face.
“I miss those good morning and good night messages we used to give each other, I honestly don't know how I have managed to get through this past week without you by my side but I have everyone's support and I appreciate that so much.
“I had the best four and a half years with you, we have had so many memories together that I will treasure forever.
“You will never be forgotten babe, you will always be in my heart forever, RIP MY BOY until we meet again, you will be sadly missed by everyone that knew you, I love you so much.”
Duntocher black stars said: "Christopher was one of my players at our club we not just friends we all family and we stick by our family.
"We came up with the idea cause Christopher never missed football and he always had a smile on his face and gave his all we where all shocked with the news of his passing.
