A local businessman is offering £1,000 to anyone who can identify the thug who attacked a 10-year-old Rangers fan at Sunday’s Old Firm match.
Youngster Kieran Duffy, from Springboig, Glasgow, lost two teeth and suffered a hairline fracture to his face when he was hit with a bottle.
Today, police have confirmed that a £1,000 reward is now on offer for anyone who can identify the person responsible.
DI Thom McKean, Greater Glasgow CID, said today: “A local businessman, who wishes to remain anonymous, was so appalled by what had happened, that he approached police to offer a reward of £1,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person responsible.
“This comes following our appeal yesterday which unfortunately, despite the significant coverage both in the media and online, no calls have been received by Police Scotland offering any information about the incident or those responsible.
“We are of course checking CCTV and carrying out enquiries into the attack on Kieran and would encourage anyone with information, no matter how insignificant it may seem to them, to come forward.
“Someone knows who did this and should be not be misguided by loyalty. Contact police – just imagine if this was your own child or someone you know. The same would apply to the man who threw the bottle – own up and contact police as it is only a matter of time before you are traced.”
