31 août 2011 - Jury finds Neil Lennon was not assaulted by the man who admitted assaulting him.

Description:

In the case against John Wilson, heard before a jury at Edinburgh Sheriff Court. Mr Wilson faced charges that, at a Hearts v Celtic match last season, he had assaulted Neil Lennon, the Celtic manager, and had caused a breach of the peace “by conducting himself in a disorderly manner, running onto the field during the match, running at the away team dug out, shouting, swearing, making a sectarian remark, all to the alarm and annoyance of others and causing further disturbance within the crowd” and that both offences were aggravated by religious prejudice. The last part wasn't proven satisfactorily (only one person claimed to hear it) so a not proven verdict was returned.
