Ex-Celtic captain left unconscious after street row

FORMER Celtic captain Neil Lennon was subjected to an assault after getting into an argument with two men who apparently insulted his team’s performance, a court heard.

Lennon, 37, a coach at the Glasgow club, was punched to the ground and then repeatedly kicked as he lay unconscious, a witness told the High Court in Glasgow.

David Whitelaw, 47, and Jeffrey Carrigan, 43, deny carrying out the assault on September 1.
