Trevor Muirhead and Neil McKenzie given five years each for plotting to assault Celtic football manager and high-profile fans
Two men who sent parcel bombs to the Celtic manager, Neil Lennon, and other high-profile fans of the football club have been jailed for five years each.
Trevor Muirhead, 44, of Kilwinning, and Neil McKenzie, 42, of Saltcoats, both in Ayrshire, plotted to assault Lennon, the former member of the Scottish parliament Trish Godman and the late QC Paul McBride, as well as people at the republican organisation Cairde Na hÉireann, by sending devices they believed were capable of exploding and causing severe injury. They were sentenced at the high court in Glasgow.
Both were originally accused of a more serious charge of conspiring to murder their targets, but it was thrown out a day before the trial concluded due to insufficient evidence.
McKenzie was also sentenced to 18 months, which will run at the same time as his five-year sentence, after being found guilty of a separate charge of posting a hoax bomb to Lennon at Celtic Park to make him believe it was likely to explode.
Muirhead was cleared of the charge with a not proven verdict. Read More
