Attacked Celtic boss Neil Lennon: I don't walk alone

Celtic manager Neil Lennon was defiant today after being attacked by a fan.

The football boss, who is at the centre of a rise in sectarian tensions, said: "I don't walk alone" - a reference to the Celtic anthem. He was attacked by a fan who clambered from the Hearts section of the stand at Tynecastle in Edinburgh during a 3-0 win for Celtic last night.

He connected with Lennon before being bundled to the ground by coach Alan Thompson. Lennon looked stunned but was said to be uninjured.

A man was arrested in connection with the attack.

Police said two men have been detained by police investigating parcel bombs sent to Lennon earlier in the season.
