Lennon attacked as Celtic cruise
Neil Lennon was attacked by a fan at Tynecastle as Celtic kept their Clydesdale Bank Premier League title hopes alive with a 3-0 win over Hearts.
When Gary Hooper scored his second goal in the 49th minute - after Jambos midfielder David Obua had been sent off by referee Craig Thomson before the break for raising a hand to Charlie Mulgrew - a supporter came out the main stand to grapple with the Parkhead boss.
An astonishing melee ensued and the intruder was eventually marched up the tunnel by police but that was not the end of the trouble as some fans in the Celtic section of the ground appeared to fight with stewards and police.
There was more controversy to come when Kris Commons grabbed Celtic's third in the 77th minute, moments after he was booked for simulation. The Hoops midfielder was sent off for leaving the field of play in celebration as the visitors finished the game one point behind Old Firm rivals Rangers going in to the last game of the season on Sunday.
Celtic opened the scoring when Commons dispossessed Marius Zaliukas to leave the Jambos defence totally exposed before setting up Hooper with the easy task of slotting past Marian Kello from inside the box.
Hooper grabbed his second goal when he was set up by Ki Sung-yueng, the Celtic striker poking the ball past Kello from 12 yards. And there was no way back for the Gorgie men when Commons grabbed the third with a low drive from around 12 yards.
