The incident marks yet another unsettling moment for Lennon, who is no stranger to such acts, having faced many events off the pitch in the past.

Lennon’s tenure at Celtic, both as a player from 2000 to 2007 and as a manager across two periods, has been marked by significant success, including 21 major trophies.

He has been a frequent target of hostility, notably receiving bullets in the post and enduring verbal abuse during matches, often from opposition fans.

The former manager took to LinkedIn to express his frustration and concern over the recurring vandalism. He shared images showing the damage to his vehicle, highlighting a deep cut and a deflated tyre caused by the removal of the tyre valve dust cap.

He wrote: “Tyres slashed again on the eve of a Celtic vs Rangers game. Happens far too often. The timing of it isn’t lost on me.”

The post has since been deleted from his LinkedIn account.
