Celtic's Lennon hurt in assault

[Natty]

Celtic football club coach Neil Lennon has been injured after being assaulted in the west end of Glasgow.

Strathclyde Police said officers were called to the city's Ashton Lane shortly after midnight.

The 37-year-old was taken to hospital and later released after treatment for minor injuries.

The assault on the former Celtic and Northern Ireland player happened hours after Celtic lost their SPL home match on Sunday against Rangers.

That puts to bed the rumour sectarianism was dead in Glasgow.

Two pillocks attacking a man needlessly. Mind you that happens across the country all the time now. Another youth dead in London for being in the wrong postcode.

Don't think he was actually attacked, think he just recieved a couple of death threats about him and his family, so he just thought 'bollocks to this', and to be honest i don't blame him
