Neil Lennon has revealed one of the tyres on his car has been slashed on the eve of the derby match between Celtic and Rangers.
The former Parkhead boss called out the act on social media as he stated it "happens far too often".
Lennon, 52, stated the timing of the slashed tyre "isn't lost" on him as he shared an image on LinkedIn.
The experienced manager - who won every domestic trophy at Celtic both as player and boss -posted: "Tyre slashed again on the eve of a - #Celtic v #Rangers game.
"Happens far too often.
"The timing of it isn’t lost on me."
The image showed Lennon's tyre flat at the curbside, and it appears a slash mark is visible at the bottom of the wheel.

The incident comes on the eve of the crucial meeting between the Glasgow clubs in the final league meeting of the season.
Celtic currently lead the league table by three points over Rangers and have a superior goal difference of 58 to 53.
Meanwhile, Lennon could be set for a surprise return to management after entering talks with Romanian club Rapid Bucharest.
The former Celtic boss has been out of work since October 2022 when he was axed from Omonia despite leading them to Cypriot Cup glory.
Ex-Hibs and Bolton manager Lennon was linked with the vacant posts at Republic of Ireland and Aberdeen, but Rapid have made him their main target to take charge after an attempt to land 78-year-old legendary boss Mircea Lucescu broke down.
It was initially reported Rapid had targeted another former Celtic boss Martin O'Neill earlier this week, but Lennon was the man on their shortlist.
And Lennon - who won five titles as a Celtic player and four in two spells as Hoops boss - is believed to be in talks with the ambitious Romanian club, who have lost seven of their eight games in their split in the league and have only two games left this season.
