Celtic forum warns users over threats

A CELTIC fan website has posted a message asking users not to post personal details on its pages in the wake of threats sent to a joiner over a sectarian message about Celtic manager Neil Lennon.

Jim Hardie, 46, fled his home in Penicuik after the message, posted on his teenage son's Twitter site as a prank, ended up on his company website.

The Twitter message "to the absolute legend for trying to kill Neil Lennon", was re-posted on the fansite, alongside Mr Hardie's mobile phone number and home address from his firm's webpage.

After the threats came to light, the site's administrator warned users: "We do not want details of people's numbers or addresses repeated on this forum. If it's in the public domain then it's easy for any poster to go there and see for themselves.

"We do not want screenshots of said posts on this thread or any other on this forum.

"If you are concerned about any postings made online by these folk then contact the club."

Mr Hardie said he had received dozens of e-mails and nearly 30 phone calls and texts.
