Former Celtic captain’s attackers jailed for 2 years

TWO men were jailed yesterday for a “vicious, brutal and cowardly” attack on former Celtic captain Neil Lennon.

A jury found Jeffrey Carrigan, 43, and David Whitelaw, 47, both of Knightswood in Glasgow, guilty of assaulting Lennon by a majority verdict at the city’s Sheriff Court.

Part of the charge, that the attack was aggravated by religious prejudice, was deleted.
