Police are investigating after Royal Mail staff discovered a package containing bullets addressed to Celtic’s Paddy McCourt.

The incident occurs just days after similar packages were sent from Northern Ireland to the Celtic manager, Neil Lennon, and player Niall McGinn.

The package addressed to 27-year-old McCourt was discovered by staff at a sorting office in the east end of the city.

A Strathclyde Police spokeswoman said: “We can confirm that we are currently investigation a suspicious package discovered at a Royal Mail sorting office in Cubie Street in Glasgow on Tuesday 11 January. Inquiries are ongoing.”

McCourt is from Northern Ireland and has played for his country.

Last week packages addressed to Lennon and McGinn were intercepted by staff at the Royal Mail sorting office in Mallusk, County Antrim.

Celtic winger McGinn is also a Northern Ireland international player, as was Lennon.
