Celtic fans threatens to blow up neighbours

A CELTIC fan was jailed for three months yesterday for terrorising his neighbours after his team's 6-2 victory over Rangers.

Boozed-up Stephen Hamilton, 41, threatened to blow up the block of flats he shared in Ardrossan, Ayrshire, last August.

One neighbour, John Hughes, told Kilmarnock Sheriff Court: "He said he was going to leave the gas on and blow the place up."

Unemployed Hamilton denied making the threat, shouting, swearing and playing sectarian music.

But jailing him, Sheriff Thomas Croan said: "It is a matter of regret I am only allowed to impose a sentence of three months."
