River City star Stephen Purdon has led tributes to a young colleague after his sudden death. Purdon - who plays Bob O'Hara in the BBC Scotland soap - said he was 'gutted' when he heard the news of Michael Beaton's passing.
Dad-of-one Michael, from Glasgow, worked as a freelance electrician on a number of BBC shows including River City. Taking to Twitter, Stephen said: "Absolute tragic news this, Michael was a top lad. Gutted."
Michael was a huge Celtic fan and fans erupted into a round of applause in tribute to him during the 28th minute of their 1-1 draw with Shakhtar Donetsk at Parkhead on Tuesday night.
