Parcel bomb ‘could have killed Celtic boss’

DETECTIVES have condemned as “despicable and cowardly” whoever sent parcel bombs to Celtic manager Neil Lennon and two prominent fans of the club.

Strathclyde Police said the two packages sent to Lennon, and others to lawyer Paul McBride and former MSP Trish Godman, were “designed to cause real harm to the person who opened them”.

The move signals a dramatic escalation of football tensions in the divided city of Glasgow, police said.
