Two Guilty In Assassination Plot On Celtic's Lennon

((HT: RTE One/youtube))

The HQ knows how mental fans get when it comes to their teams and local sports here in the States. But there's a different level of silliness overseas...

Add to that the whole Catholic-Protestant thing, and it goes sideways very quickly.

Neil McKenzie and Trevor Muirhead were convicted of conspiracy to assault after bags containing bottles of potentially explosive liquid, a timer and dozens of nails were sent through the mail. The nail bombs that were being made with all of those materials were being sent to the manager of Celtic, Neil Lennon, a member of Parliament, a key attorney, and a group that wants a unified Ireland

Surprise... McKenzie and Muirhead are fans of Celtic's main rival- Rangers.

Sentencing is set for April 27.

Here's some behind the scenes stuff on Lennon from an interview he did on Irish network RTE...
