Attacks against Neil Lennon, manager of Glasgow Celtic
University students Gregg Miller and Neil MacLeod were fined a total of £900 after Mr
Lennon was attacked in September 2003 in Glasgow's west-end.
Car salesman Thomas Ferrie was then fined £500 in April 2004 for road rage after
chasing Mr Lennon along the M8 and yelling abuse.
In January 2009, Rangers fans Jeffrey Carrigan and David Whitelaw were jailed for
two years each after the then Celtic coach was attacked in the city's Ashton Lane.
Stephen Birrell was locked up for eight months last October for posting comments
on a Facebook page called "Neil Lennon should be banned".
Robert Rollie was spared jail that month after he wrote threatening messages about
the Celtic boss on another Facebook site.
David Craig was sentenced to 14 months in March this year after he posted a picture
online of Mr Lennon covered in bullet wounds.
Hearts fan John Wilson was convicted of a breach of the peace and jailed for eight
months for lunging at Mr Lennon at Tynecastle last year.
Christopher Hay was charged in March this year with threatening Mr Lennon on a
social networking site. He made no plea when he appeared at Glasgow Sheriff
Court. No date was set for a further hearing.
Trevor Muirhead and Neil McKenzie jailed for five years for sending devices they
believed were capable of exploding and causing injury.
