Dad of tragic teen footballer calls for Celtic fans to hold minute’s applause in his memory

Graeme McCabe, the father of 17-year-old footballer Aidan McCabe who died suddenly last week, has called on Celtic supporters to hold a minute's applause in his memory. Fans attending Celtic's Scottish Premiership home match against Dundee United on Wednesday, October 28, are being asked to participate in the tribute during the 17th minute of the game at Celtic Park.

Aidan, from Cumbernauld, was an avid Celtic fan who previously played for Airdrie FC youth, Cumbernauld Colts, and Rossvale FC. His former team, Airdrie Community Club, held a minute's applause before all their matches on Saturday, while other youth fixtures and Dullatur Golf Club have also paid respects following his untimely passing.
