A young Celtic fan who suffered a cardiac arrest while at an Old Firm game was 'in the right place at the right time' after hero paramedics saved his life.

Joseph Higgins, 26, travelled on a supporters' bus from his hometown of Bellshill, North Lanarkshire to Hampden Park with his friends and brother to watch the match, which took place on Sunday, April 17. But as the 90 minute whistle blew, Joseph started to feel unwell.

He headed to the concourse area of the stadium but fainted shortly after - with panic growing among his group when he could not be brought back round.
