Funeral held for 'caring' Scots Celtic fan who died in Irish petrol station explosion

The funeral service for a Glasgow man who died in a petrol station explosion in Ireland is underway in County Donegal.

Martin McGill, 49, was a devoted Celtic fan who had moved to Ireland to care for his late father Joseph and mum Mary. His service, at St Michael's Church in the village of Creeslough, began at 2pm -- four days after the fatal blast at the Applegreen service station.

Martin, originally from Kirkintilloch just outside Glasgow, is the second victim of the petrol station tragedy to be laid to rest after the service for Jessica Gallagher earlier on Tuesday. A lone piper led his coffin into the chapel, and a Celtic top was brought to the front of the building as a tribute to the love for his team.
