Manager of the Scottish Premier League Celtic Neil Lennon and Celtic player Niall McGinn were sent packages containing bullets. The packages were found at a post office in County Antrim when postal workers were suspicious of the two packages.
"Lennon tweeted: "Bottles & Bullets today! Wish they'd quit all the stupidity so we could all just concentrate on the football."-CNN a Tweet by Lennon after a bottle was thrown at the team bus.
The article states Lennon received death threats previously from a protestant paramilitary group, which forced him to retire from international football for Northern Ireland in 2002.
"In 2008, Lennon was treated in hospital after being assaulted in Glasgow, with the incident again linked to sectarian rivalry."-CNN
