Family of teen who drowned in Mugdock Park tragedy calling for applause during Rangers v Celtic match

The family of a teenage boy who tragically drowned is calling for a minute of applause in his honour during the Rangers v Celtic game this weekend.

Jordan Goodwin died after getting into difficulty in a loch at Mugdock Country Park around 6pm last Saturday.

Emergency services pulled the 18-year-old from the water but sadly he couldn't be saved.

His loved ones are now hoping to honour him at the Old Firm game at Ibrox on Sunday.

They are calling for a round of applause for Jordan, who was a huge Rangers fan, in the 18th minute of the game.

The teen's cousin Tamas Millan said the family is 'heartbroken' by their loss.

He told Glasgow Live: "Jordan was well-loved by all his family and friends in Hamilton, Barrhead, and all over. He was funny and you couldn’t have met a nicer person. We’re all just so heartbroken.

"We did a balloon release on Monday night night and what a support he got in his memory.

"We are trying to see if we can get a minute of applause on the 18th minute on Sunday in the game against Celtic, because he was Rangers fan."

A fundraiser has been launched to pay for his funeral. To donate click here.
