A man has been arrested after he tried to assault Celtic manager Neil Lennon during the Clydesdale Bank Premier League game against Hearts at Tynecastle last night.

The Hearts fan ran up to Celtic boss Neil Lennon and lunged at him, The Telegraph reports.

Police took the supporter away after the fracas at the Edinburgh stadium ended.

Lothian and Borders Police said that the man has been reported to the Procurator Fiscal and would appear in court.

Lennon, 39, has had death threats in the past and in recent weeks was sent two parcel bombs, as were other high-profile Celtic supporters.
