Fan jailed after attack on Celtic manager

A FOOTBALL fan cleared of a sectarian assault on Celtic manager Neil Lennon was jailed yesterday for eight months for a breach of the peace at the match and handed a five-year football banning order.

John Wilson, 26, was accused of a sectarian attack on the football boss as his side played Hearts in a crucial Clydesdale Bank Premier League game at Edinburgh’s Tynecastle stadium on May 11.

A jury at Edinburgh Sheriff Court last month found the charge against the unemployed labourer was not proven.
