😭😭💔Celtic FC vs Dundee game Postponed Amid Brutal Knife  outside..

The electric hum of anticipation surrounding Celtic FC’s Scottish Premiership showdown with Dundee FC was shattered today by a savage knife attack just blocks from the iconic Celtic Park. What began as a routine pre-match stroll for fans turned into a nightmare of blood and panic, forcing authorities to postpone the eagerly awaited fixture indefinitely.

The horror unfolded around 5:30 PM near Janefield Street, a narrow alley teeming with green-and-white clad supporters heading to Paradise for the 7:45 PM kickoff. Eyewitnesses described a lone assailant, clad in a dark hoodie, emerging from the gloom like a specter. “He came out of nowhere,” recounted Liam O’Connor, a 42-year-old Celtic diehard nursing a bandaged arm. “Screaming something incoherent, he slashed at anyone in reach. I saw a lad go down, blood everywhere—thought it was the end.”

The attacker, later identified as 28-year-old Darren “Razor” McKay—a known associate of Glasgow’s fractured gang underbelly—wielded a jagged hunting knife with frenzied precision. In under two minutes, he struck four victims: two fans in their twenties, a middle-aged vendor, and a teenage boy clutching a scarf emblazoned with the club’s crest. The boy, 16-year-old Aidan Reilly from nearby Dennistoun, remains in critical condition at Glasgow Royal Infirmary, his family huddled in vigil as surgeons battled to save his punctured lung.

Chaos erupted as screams pierced the December chill. Fans scattered like startled pigeons, some vaulting barricades into nearby pubs for safety, others forming human chains to shield the fallen. Mobile footage, now viral on social media, captures the pandemonium: a sea of emerald jerseys stained crimson, the distant roar of Celtic Park’s floodlights mocking the melee.

Police Scotland’s response was swift but stretched thin. Armed officers flooded the area within minutes, cornering McKay atop a dumpster after a rooftop chase that ended with three tasers and a K-9 unit. “This was no random act,” said Detective Inspector Fiona Kerr during a tense press briefing outside the stadium. “McKay’s ties to the Barlanark Boys suggest a targeted hit, possibly linked to escalating turf wars spilling over from last month’s Rangers derby fallout. We’re treating this as attempted murder.”

Celtic FC issued a somber statement, their words laced with defiance: “Our Paradise is a sanctuary, not a slaughterhouse. The safety of our community comes first. We stand with the victims and their families.” Interim manager Martin O’Neill, set to bow out after this match, canceled his pre-game media huddle, instead visiting the hospital to clasp hands with the injured. Dundee FC echoed the sentiment, postponing travel for their squad amid the lockdown.

The Scottish Premiership now grapples with a darker reality. Knife crime in Glasgow has surged 13% this year, a grim echo of the city’s “murder capital” past, despite Violence Reduction Unit efforts. Critics lambast funding cuts, while community leaders call for metal detectors at fixtures. As blue lights pulse through the fog-shrouded streets, one chant rises above the sirens: “You’ll Never Walk Alone”—a vow etched in resilience, even as the pitch lies silent.onight, Glasgow mourns, but its spirit endures. The rescheduled clash? A battle postponed, but the war against senseless violence rages on.
