Scottish game dealt yet another sad blow

Neil Lennon was always likely to be the central figure here, but not in this way, not as the victim of an attempted assault.

The game had become an untroubled occasion for Celtic, with Gary Hooper’s second goal emphasising their control, and the Parkhead manager barely even celebrated the strike. But then a lone supporter ran out from the stand next to the Celtic dugout and reached Lennon just as he was hauled down by Alan Thompson, before stewards arrived.
