A 35 year old fan has unfortunately been killed in a machete attack following a row which was over Celtic v Rangers, reports state.
According to various articles, a gang ended up chasing a man for 500 yards before fatally slashing his throat in what has been described as ‘a suspected drunken Old Firm rammy’.
Kamil Charyszyn, the Celtic fan, was killed after getting in a shouting match with three men and a woman who came out from their flats which had the decoration with the colours of Rangers.

Neighbours told how someone was heard saying: “I’m a Celtic fan but who gives a f***?” seconds before the male blade nut struck in Easterhouse, Glasgow.
It came hours after Sunday’s derby draw at Parkhead.
One resident said: “There was an awful commotion outside but I just assumed it was drunk Celtic and Rangers fans.
“I heard someone saying, ‘I’m a Celtic fan but who gives a f***?’. It was a noisy rabble and it was getting heated.
“The next thing I knew police were everywhere and a tent was erected over the spot.
“The man died on the street. His throat was partially severed.”
Police officers have launched a probe into the 10.05pm horror just yards from where Kamil had lived.
The block of flats, which has Rangers championship flags as well as bunting was sealed off earlier this week as forensic teams looked around for clues and anything suspicious to them.
A tent remains in the place of where the victim’s body was found.

Sunday’s Old Firm clash ended 1-1 with rival fans being praised for keeping to lockdown rules by staying away from Celtic Park.
Tributes have been paid to the young dad-of-three, a 35 year old fan killed in the machete attack following a Celtic v Rangers row…
A local said: “I was Kamil’s friend. It was so devastating he was a really good man. We are all heartbroken.”
Another commented: “Kamil was so nice he would never pass you without saying hello. He kept to himself and was really quiet but friendly enough. It is so horrible what has happened.”
A third individual said: “I was so upset when I heard he lives not far away and is always really cheerful. He is quiet but the family are very nice. It is such a shame I can’t believe it.
While another told: “This is normally a quiet area so I was shocked to see all the police tape and everything go up. I think we are all feeling anxious and very concerned since it happened round the corner and we don’t know why.”
A different resident of the area said: “Kamil was a young dad and he was stabbed in the neck three times, it is so awful. He never seemed to get in bother or anything. Sad how this can happen to even the quiet folk.”
One other added: “I heard he had been chased down the street and stabbed. So awful I really feel for his poor family.”
