Lennon's troubles spurs us on - Wilson

Mark Wilson believes the trouble which has surrounded Neil Lennon this season makes the Hoops players want to win the Clydesdale Bank Premier League title "even more." Celtic boss Lennon had bullets sent through the post to him earlier in the season, and then had to be given 24-hour security after a parcel bomb intended for him was intercepted. Lennon was involved in another controversial incident at Tynecastle on Wednesday night when he was attacked by a fan in the second half after Gary Hooper had scored his second goal in the 3-0 win over Hearts. Trouble immediately broke out in the stand housing Celtic fans and amid a poisonous atmosphere, Kris Commons scored Celtic's third to take them back to within one point of leaders Rangers with one game remaining. The former Derby player was then sent off by referee Craig Thomson for leaving the pitch to celebrate, after moments earlier being booked for simulation. Celtic host Motherwell on Sunday while Rangers travel to Kilmarnock and Wilson is looking for a last-day twist to make Lennon's troubles worthwhile. "It kind of spurs us on a bit and makes you want to win the championship even more," he said. "It will be difficult but we have given ourselves a chance. "Twice recently it has turned on the last day. A few years ago Celtic went to Fir Park and were one up and managed to lose the title and so you can only hope that something like that can happen again."
