Bullets in post meant for Celtic manager and player

Both Northern Ireland men are employed by Celtic Football Club

Packages containing bullets have been sent to Celtic manager Neil Lennon and player Niall McGinn.
The packages, addressed to the two men, were posted in Northern Ireland.
They were intercepted by staff at the Royal Mail sorting office in Mallusk, County Antrim on Wednesday.
The mail was bound for Celtic football club in Glasgow. The PSNI said the items have been removed for examination.
Police were called to the sorting office after postal staff raised concerns about the two packages.
A spokesman for Celtic said: "It is now a police matter and the club has no further comment to make."
Police are investigating the incident and have asked anyone with information to come forward.
Neil Lennon, a former Celtic captain and Northern Ireland international, has received death threats in the past.
He was forced to withdraw from Northern Ireland's game against Cyprus in 2002 after a reported death threat from a paramilitary group.
In 2008, he was treated in hospital after being assaulted in Glasgow.
Northern Ireland international Niall McGinn transfered from Derry City to Celtic in 2009.

I find it hard to believe that sort of narrow minded shit is still going on in 2011.

It's about time Scottish football was cleaned up once and for all.

what part of scotland is Mallusk, County Antrim based?

there are loonies everywhere in football however Rangers and celtic fans because of the irish thing have some of the worst. This isn't the first time and won't be the last it just so happens it has made national news, players from both teams have been attacked and had their cars vandalised in the last few years and to counter act the lennon thing Nacho Novo a Rangers player recieved death threats but that never made national press only local and then swept under the carpet.
