The man suffered serious injuries after becoming caught in the middle of a fight between rival supporters. He died in the City Hospital on Friday.
Police say it is not clear if his injuries caused his death.
A post-mortem examination is due to be carried out on Monday morning.
Police are appealing for witnesses to the attack, which happened at about 9.45pm.
