Lennon hit by coin amid ugly scenes

THE Edinburgh derby ended in ugly scenes as Hibernian head coach Neil Lennon was floored after being hit by a coin after the fractious league game finished scoreless.

Hearts were celebrating in stoppage-time when Clevid Dikamona headed home but the goal was disallowed for offside and seconds later Lennon appeared to be struck by a coin.

Lennon fell to the deck but was soon back on his feet.

“I’m all right,” he said. “They must have a few quid up here because it was a pound coin. But it’s no laughing matter, I hope somebody deals with it and I’d like to meet the guy face to face.”
