  • The pair were sentenced at Glasgow High Court on Friday

Saltcoats man Neil McKenzie has been jailed for five years at Glasgow Sheriff Court after he was found guilty of sending suspect packages to Celtic manager Neil Lennon.

McKenzie (42) from Saltcoats was jailed along with Trevor Muirhead (44) of Kilwinning after being convicted of sending devices they believed were capable of exploding and causing injury through the post.
