Police Scotland have confirmed that Hibs Head Coach Neil Lennon did not commit a crime when he celebrated a goal during his team’s 3-2 win against Rangers at Ibrox Stadium on Saturday.
A number of Rangers’ supporters complained about what they perceived as “inflammatory” actions but after consultation with the procurator fiscal, no charges will be preferred.
A separate inquiry is under way into threats made against Lennon following the game on social media.
A Police Scotland spokeswoman said: “After discussion with the procurator fiscal we established that no criminality took place. No further action will be taken.”
John graduated from Telford College in 2010 with an HNC in Practical Journalism and since then he worked for the North Edinburgh News, The Southern Reporter, the Irish News Review and The Edinburgh Reporter. In addition he has been published in the Edinburgh Evening News and the Hibernian FC Programme.
