Lawwell pays tribute to Lennon and Celtic fans

Celtic chief executive Peter Lawwell has heaped praise on the club's supporters for helping get manager Neil Lennon through a tough week.

Police intercepted a parcel devised to cause serious harm addressed to Lennon earlier this week which shook the Glasgow and Scottish football community.

Following the 0-0 draw with Old Firm rivals Rangers yesterday, Lawwell saluted the club for sticking together and making life a little bit easier for Lennon.

"On behalf of the club, I would like to applaud the manager and players for their magnificent efforts," Lawwell told the club's official website.

"It's also very important that we thank our supporters, too, for the positive backing which they gave to the team.

"Clearly, it's been a difficult week for Neil and he deserves enormous praise for the way he has handled this very tough period.

"I know Neil has been very humbled by the support given to him by our fans during this time, and they were magnificent in the way they backed him and the team.

"They were a credit to the club and supported the team the Celtic way, and their backing will be vital over the final few weeks of the season."
