TRIBUTES have poured in for a "beautiful" Scots teen who passed away suddenly this week.
Friends and family of Megan Reid from Livingston, West Lothian, have been paying their respects online to the 17-year-old following her tragic death on Tuesday.
The 17-year-old's friends are planning to erupt into applause for Megan during the 17th minute of their fixture against St Johnstone at Celtic Park tomorrow.
A GoFundMe which was set up to help with funeral costs has already raised over £2,300 in two days.
Loved ones have now taken to social media to share pictures and messages in tribute to the teen who is believed to have passed away.
As well as sharing an image of the pair to Facebook, Megan’s grandmother, Sharon Reid, yesterday took to social media to spread word of the Celtic Park tribute.
She wrote: “Calling all Celtic fans.
“Celtic fans going to the Celtic v St Johnstone match on Saturday, can we arrange a round of applause on the 17th minute for Megan Reid who sadly passed away aged 17 on 05/04/2022.
“She would absolutely love it.
“Please share and let’s make this happen. Megan is my granddaughter and loved Celtic FC.”

Lots of that sudden death going around lately.
Suicide?
Yep. Prob just the beginning.
Democrats are evil scum.
So what killed her or how or why did she die.

Yes, safe and effective. There, I said it first.
“ So what killed her or how or why did she die.”
That’s not the right comment for this story. The right comment is to say “safe and effective” with implied sarcasm.
It was those Martians we’ve been hearing about lately.
Another Fauxi success story.
Pretty terrible article/post. Okay yeah it sucks but tons of random teens die. Why is this particular one in Scotland news on a conservative politics site? Also even if you were curious the article tells you virtually nothing about her or why she passed away.
Young Celtic fan dies suddenly as heartbroken gran calls for Parkhead tribute
The post is a dog whistle.
IF this young person died from a vaxx-induced blood clot, then why the hell are the parents/relatives/friends NOT SAYING A DAMN THING ABOUT IT???
I am thinking suicide.
No mention of cause of death.
Whatever could it be?
That simple fact speaks volumes to people with more than two brain cells in a row.
Suicide by vaccine is very popular these days.
It’s like a pandemic...
