Strathclyde Police launched an investigation earlier in the week after parcel bombs "designed to cause harm" were sent to Lennon, as well Paul McBride QC and Labour politician Trish Godman. Bullets were sent to Lennon earlier in the season and a suspicious package addressed to him was intercepted last month.

Despite such a traumatic week, Lennon is determined not to let those responsible win and he remains focussed on Sunday's Glasgow derby at Ibrox. "I've had this for 10 years but I don't want to say you get used to it because you never do. It's not going to deter me from doing what I want to do," Lennon said.
