The friend of tragic young footballer Kieran McDade has honoured his pal by wearing a Celtic strip and heading to Parkhead. 

Kieran McDade, 13, collapsed while training with Dunbeth Football Club in Coatbridge.

He passed away in hospital after he remained in a coma for a week. 

The Herald:

Friend and Rangers fan William Gibb headed to Parkhead on Saturday wearing rival team Celtic's strip printed with the slogan 'McDade - YWNWA (You Will Never Walk Alone)'.

The geusture comes just a few months after the boys made a bet that if Dunbeth Football Club won the league, William would pay his forfeit by heading to his rival's stadium to belt our Celtic songs. 

Celtic striker Leigh Griffiths also held up a shirt with RIP Kieran and the number 13 on it after scoring against Aberdeen on Saturday.

The footballer had expressed his condolences on Twitter for the young player, before he met with his grieiving relatives on Saturday. 

Friends and well-wishers have raised over £15,000 for Kieran’s family to cover funeral expenses. 

Tributes flooded in for the popular schoolboy whose donated organs saved the lives of two other people. 

Sister Amy said: “Our beautiful boy is now with the angels and will forever live on in our hearts.

“Would also like to let everyone know that Kieran has remained the most sensitive and generous boy that he is and donated some of his organs which has saved two peoples lives today. 

“What a brave soldier, he will be truly missed.”

His parents Bernie and Gemma said: "We are devastated at the loss of our lovely son Keiran. He lived life to the full and his smile would light up a room.

"We are very grateful for the support we've received from his friends and teachers at the school."
