Celtic boss Neil Lennon is attacked during the game against Hearts



Celtic manager Neil Lennon hit by fan.
Celtic manager Neil Lennon has been hit by a spectator during a Scottish Premier League game against Hearts at Tynecastle.
A fan clambered from the Hearts section of the main stand at Tynecastle in Edinburgh after Celtic's second goal and made for Lennon on the touchline.
He connected with Lennon before being bundled to the ground and arrested.
Earlier this season parcel bombs addressed to Lennon, his lawyer and a politician were intercepted by police.
Celtic won Wednesday night's game 3-0 to ensure the Scottish Premier League title race goes to the final day.
The incident occurred after their second goal, in the 49th minute.
A supporter ran along the touchline towards Lennon and made contact with the Celtic manager before being pushed to the ground by police and stewards, handcuffed and bundled out of the stadium.

Trouble then broke out in the Celtic section of the ground between fans and police.
The Celtic manager looked stunned after the attack but was uninjured.
