Celtic manager Neil Lennon focused on his team's success after he was attacked by a fan in the 3-0 win over Hearts at Tynecastle.
The supporter came out of the main stand and made straight for Lennon sparking a fracas, before being marched up the tunnel by police and arrested. Scottish Football Association chief executive Stewart Regan and his Scottish Premier League counterpart Neil Doncaster will meet to discuss the incident, while Hearts have opened a full investigation.
However, Lennon preferred to heap praise on his team for keeping their Clydesdale Bank Premier League title dream alive with one match remaining, and wrote on his Twitter page late on Wednesday night: "Don't let what happened to me tonight take the shine off a wonderful team performance... I don't walk alone."
A 26-year-old man is due to appear at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on Thursday in connection with the attempted attack on Lennon.
Les Gray, chairman of the Scottish Police Federation which represents more than 17,000 officers, told BBC Radio Five Live: "There isn't a lot you can do to prevent an incident like that.
"This is an individual who has taken it upon himself to attack and it's absolutely horrendous. But unfortunately from a policing point of view, unless you've got a ring of steel around that park and block the view for quite a number of fans, there isn't a lot you can do to prevent it.
"We always knew it was going to be a feisty game - that's football.
"There is nothing that justifies someone going onto a pitch and physically attacking Neil Lennon or anybody else - that's criminal behaviour, it is nothing to do with football.
"Whatever else you say about Neil Lennon's behaviour, that's football, this is a criminal act. You can't compare the two."
Meanwhile, two men were being held by police in connection with an investigation into parcel bombs sent to Lennon and to two high-profile supporters of the club. The men, aged 41 and 43, were detained under the Explosives Substances Act 1883 after officers raided a number of properties in Kilwinning, Ayrshire.
