Recommended Posts

RELIEVED Neil Lennon punched the air with joy when he was told police had charged two men who allegedly sent him a parcel bomb.

The Celtic gaffer shouted "Yes!" when his lawyer Paul McBride QC broke the news on Thursday.

Lennon was having dinner with partner Irene and son Gallagher in a West End restaurant when McBride arrived with the news.

Lennon turned to his fiancée saying: "Thank God, it's over, Irene. We can put this behind us. Life can go back to being normal."

Lennon, 39, was on a two-day break to prepare for today's crunch SPL title decider. He was enjoying a meal with Irene, 34, and their five-year-old son.

Just after 8pm he looked at a text. A diner at the eaterie in Glasgow's West End said: "He told Irene, 'Paul's just around the corner - he's just going to nip in'. Then McBride came swaggering in. He had a grin like a Cheshire cat and said, 'I've got fantastic news - they have charged two guys over the letter bomb'.

"Neil then said, 'Thank God for that'. He punched the air for joy and shouted, 'Yes!'

"Irene looked so happy. She was beaming when he said life would return to normal. He then said, 'Thank God, Paul. Thank God, I've made it to the end of the season in one piece'!"

Everybody looked as if they didn't have a care in the world

The diner added: "We were really surprised to see Neil come into the restaurant with Irene and his son at 7.30pm.

"He had a couple of beers and a couple of punters came over to him and patted him on the back.

"He was having a laugh, telling them to be careful or his bouncer, who used to be in the Army, would sort them out.

"Folk were congratulating him. One of the guys said, 'Don't let the b*****ds get to you Neil'.

"I then overheard Neil saying to Paul, 'Make no bones about this, I am entirely focused on the game on Sunday - and so are the lads'.

"They then left at around 8.45pm. Irene drove them home.

"It was a great moment to witness. Everybody looked as if they didn't have a care in the world."

Just hours earlier, John Wilson, 26, appeared in Edinburgh Sheriff Court on sectarian assault and breach of peace charges.

Wilson, of Edinburgh, is alleged to have attacked Lennon during Celtic's 3-0 win against Hearts at Tynecastle stadium on Wednesday night. He was remanded in custody and is expected to appear in court again this week.

On Friday, two men appeared in court charged under the Explosive Substances Act in connection with parcel bombs sent to Lennon, McBride and former MSP Trish Godman, 71, last month.

Neil McKenzie, 41, of Saltcoats, and Trevor Muirhead, 43, of Kilwinning, both Ayrshire, made no plea or declaration when they appeared in private at Kilmarnock Sheriff Court. Both were remanded in custody.

The Scene Where arrests were made Probe... police at arrest house

Meanwhile, we can reveal that the Scottish Football Association wants to take control of fans' behaviour at matches from the Scottish Premier League - which is a commercial body made up of club representatives.

An SFA spokesman said: "We have called on the Joint Action Group to review legislation to allow the SFA to reclaim the jurisdiction the SPL currently has over supporters at league matches." SPL chief executive Neil Doncaster said the attack on Lennon was "wholly unacceptable".
