ian1964 10,617 Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 A PROBE into a bottle attack on a Rangers fan of 11 was shelved by cops after no one came forward to help. Kieran Duffy was in a bus heading to his first Old Firm match when he lost two teeth in a cowardly assault by a Celtic thug near Hampden Park. But it has emerged police halted the case when their search for witnesses drew a blank. A spokesman said: “The investigation has concluded with no arrest. However should any new information come to light it will be acted upon.” Kieran was going to the League Cup semi-final in February with his twin brother Declan and dad Robert, 40, when he was attacked in Glasgow’s Mount Florida. A mob of Hoops yobs in the street began shouting abuse at the driver before the door was opened and the bottle launched. Kieran, of the city’s Springboig, was left covered in blood and needing stitches. His family yesterday declined to comment on the latest news. But Kieran said at the time: “I was scared, I didn’t know what had happened. “I saw my brother was crying. My hand was covered in blood and I realised something was wrong.” His dad added: “It hit my elbow but I didn’t realise the state Kieran was in. “He was drenched in blood. If it had been two inches up, we’d have been talking life or death. “I was on the ground, just about to collapse. Seeing your son in that mess, it knocked me for six, I nearly fainted. “I felt sick, dizzy — there was blood everywhere.” Celtic later won the first Old Firm clash in three years 2-0. http://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/scotsol/homepage/news/6835631/Witness-flop-for-Old-Firm-bottle-attack-on-Gers-fan-11.html 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may also be a plea for someone to come forward. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They haven't given up, they have asked for people to step forward. They can't continue a case with no evidence, no willing witnesses, no cctv and nobody to suspect. Silly statement from Rab IMHO.

Just my interpretation of these two sentences Rab. What else could that mean? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
