Man Charged Over Attack On Celtic Manager Lennon

A MAN was due to appear in court yesterday in connection with the attempted touchline attack on Celtic manager Neil Lennon during the match at Hearts.

After Celtic scored the second goal of a 3-0 win at Hearts on Wednesday, a fan ran onto the field from the home section of the main stand and struck Lennon.

The attack appears to be the latest sectarian incident involving Celtic, traditionally supported by Irish Catholics. Glasgow rival Rangers and Hearts, based in Edinburgh, are both mainly supported by Protestants.

"Don't let what happened to me tonight take the shine off a wonderful team performance... I don't walk alone," Lennon tweeted.
