    It's not Medro. This guy goes to games


    A Rangers supporter called for Celtic manager Neil Lennon to be bombed on a social networking site because he "doesn't like him".

    Allan McCormack, 25, posted the message "Bomb Neil Lennon, bomb him now" on Facebook following an Old Firm game on April 29, 2011.

    He was caught when police patrolling websites spotted the message.
    McCormack, of Colebrook Street, Glasgow, pled guilty at Glasgow Sheriff Court to behaving in a threatening or abusive manner by posting the message on April 30, 2011, which was offensive and threatening by threatening Neil Lennon with violence.

    The court was told that Strathclyde Police violence reduction co-ordination unit were involved in an inquiry into online hate messages directed at Mr Lennon.

    Procurator fiscal depute, Angus Crawford, prosecuting said: "Whilst monitoring social networking sites particularly Facebook, the phrase 'Bomb Neil Lennon, bomb him now' was discovered."

    He added they were able to establish McCormack as a suspect and in August last year, telephoned him. McCormack volunteered to go to the police station for an interview where he made admissions about the message posted.
    The court was told McCormack claimed to the police he had been drunk and posted the message at 2am, the day after his birthday although accepted it was not an excuse.

    Mr Crawford added: "He further went on to state to police that the posting was in response to a Rangers versus Celtic Scottish Cup game at Celtic Park.
    "He stated that he didn't like the way Neil Lennon the Celtic manager had conducted himself that day and that he doesn't like Neil Lennon generally."
    The court heard McCormack is an "avid Rangers supporter" and often attends games.

    McCormack will learn his fate from Sheriff Charles McFarlane QC when he appears back in the dock next month. His bail order was continued in the meantime.

    Conditions of his bail include signing on at his local station during the first half of every Rangers game, and no entry to Ibrox Stadium, Celtic Park or Hampden Stadium.

    Medro also stays in Belfast, not Glasgow.
