A man has been arrested over an alleged assault on Celtic coach Neil Lennon in the west end of Glasgow earlier this month.

The 46-year-old is expected to appear at Glasgow Sheriff Court on Thursday.

Police said inquiries were continuing to trace another man who is believed to have been involved.

Lennon was knocked unconscious during the attack, which happened hours after Celtic lost their SPL home match against Old Firm rivals Rangers.

I would hope he'll be let go a bit sooner than that, if they don't have enough evidence!

Cynicism makes me think they may string this out so that they have a suspect for as long as possible, given the hight profile of this minor case.

Anyone arrested for breaking that young Rangers fan's jaw?
