Neil Lennon 'parcel bomb plot' trial begins They are accused of sending the devices with the intention that the contents would ignite and explode when opened, causing severe injury and death to the recipients. The two men face an alternative charge that they sent a package to Lennon at Celtic Park on March 3 or 4, intending him to think it was likely to "explode or ignite." At the trial, which started at the High Court in Glasgow today, Royal Mail postman Andrew Brown told how he became suspicious of a package he picked up from a post box on Gladstone Road, Saltcoats, on Friday March 4 last year. He said something about the brown envelope, addressed to Lennon at Celtic Park, Glasgow, "didn't feel right." Mr Brown, 27, told the court: "When I felt it, there were different textures. It just didn't feel right. There were sharp edges. The postman said he was aware of a recent "scuffle" which had taken place at an Old Firm match between Lennon and the now Rangers manager Ally McCoist. He said the package stood out because it was addressed to Lennon, and that he reported it to his supervisors Mark McGuire and Andrew Easton when he arrived back at the Saltcoats sorting office. Mr Easton, Royal Mail line manager, and Mr McGuire, delivery manager, were also called to give evidence. Mr Easton said the contents of the package "felt like a bag of nails" and Mr McGuire told the court it was "particularly weighty." Mr McGuire said: "There appeared to be something like a nail protruding from it." Police were called and the building was evacuated as specialist officers from Springburn Police Office were drafted in to inspect the package. The jury of 11 women and four men were shown the components. The court heard that the suspicious package was later found to be a "hoax nail bomb" and it was deemed safe to return to the post office.
