Rangers manager Paul Le Guen was confronted by rival fans after watching Celtics match at Hearts, police said. The Frenchman was verbally abused by supporters as he left Tynecastle Stadium in Edinburgh on Sunday. Police confirmed they received reports of an incident involving the coach, who joined the Glasgow club in the summer.

The manager was spat at, had his windscreen obscured and was flashed at by a Celtic fan, according to the Scottish Daily Mirror. He was said to have been spotted by Celtic fans, who had just seen their team lose 2-1, near a school on McLeod Street which is used as a car park on matchdays.

Le Guen, who was reportedly with his assistant Yves Colleau and other members of his staff, was understood to have then been verbally abused by a group of fans. The paper reported a newspaper was thrust across his windscreen as he tried to drive away after a fan spat at him. A supporter is understood to have then exposed himself to the former Lyon coach.

A spokeswoman for Lothian and Borders Police confirmed that officers attended an incident at the stadiums car park after the game. The force said Le Guen was subjected to "banter and backchat". She added no complaint had been received and by the time officers arrived Le Guen had gone. A spokeswoman for Rangers declined to comment.

as i said before, this just makes me embarrassed not just for Celtic but for Scotland. Banter and the like are to be expected but there is no place for the rest of what he was subjected to.

Its a shame that the action of these idiots go straight into the paper and in so doing shaming all other Cekltic fans. These guys are bullys and know nothings. I hope ythey are caught asnd thier seaon books can be given to decent Celtic fans.

while i am at it i'd like to say that what happened to Paul le Guen at Tyncastle was carried out by mindless thugs who in no way represent true Celtic fans. I consider myself a Scotsman first and Celtic fan 2nd and consequently i'm horrified and ashamed (as a Scotsman) at the actions of those w***ers. What happened is symptomatic of a wider social problem in Britain (i.e yob behaviour). \what must he think of Scotland now. Hopefully decent people in this country get the opportunity to show him, as well as all visitors to this country, how beautiful Scotland can be.

First and foremost, I am totally against what has happened. By all reports the 'banter' was light hearted.

This yob behaviour is all around, not just in Scotland, lets not kid ourselves. If PLG thinks that he can mingle with the opposition fans and thinks that he will not be harrassed then he must think again. This would have happened at any ground in Europe. An opposing manager mingling with rival's supporters?? Come on guys, wake up!

What would have happened if Rijkaard started to mix with Real Madrid fans? Would they ask for his autograph?

Can you not just accept that Celtic fans on the whole are scum? This latest attack only goes to prove this fact. More examples are having to divert a plane from Seville after the air stewardess was attacked, attacking the referee at the OF game at the tattiedome becuase you where loosing the leauge and on and on.

Let us hope that the sfa get onto this latest 'incident'

That is a very strong statement to make re "on the whole are scum".Every club has a mindless minority(and I emphasise minority).I have been a celt fan and a footyfan all my days,as I'm sure all people here are life long football fans,and to make comments like that is very very dangerous indeed as I'm sure the people here that I know will agree with me-please do not tar us all with the same brush here,and think before you post anything.It makes me upset to read comments like the one that you made,and sorry for the other forumites if this has rambled on a bit,cant think what else to say about this at the moment.My bro in law is a gers fan as are many friends and work colleagues and there is always some banter,face it there always will be.It is always a mindless brainless minority that do their best to spoil it for others,regardless of what team it is,celts,gers,teams in England,worldwide,whatever.

How eloquent and articulate. You truly are a credit to your family and to the school that obviously educated you so well. Yeh, you have really shown yourself to be tolerant, educated and not one to make sweeping generalisations. I would dignify your vitriol with more of a response if it wasn't for the fact that i know you are at the wind up and just baiting some us to respond further. no joy my friend.

[markoos]

Afraid I prob got sucked in there a wee bit jedi,but made me a bit angry to read that...

[Jedi Knight]

wouldn't worry about it m8. you retained some dignity (unlike some others). That is something that does annoy a normal and civillised person, being tarred with the same brush. it's a pity he probably aint intelligent enough to see the irony in his post.

[King of Kings]

I get the feeling someone is trying to bait the Celtic fans here.

Grow up ffs PLG.

PS welcome to the forum.
