Scott Sinclair nearly hit by bottle during Celtic's Scottish Cup win at HibernianReferee Willie Collum removes a bottle from the pitch that was thrown by supporters towards Scott SinclairNeil Lennon and Paul Heckingbottom have condemned the throwing of a bottle from the crowd towards Scott Sinclair during Celtic's Scottish Cup win over Hibernian on Saturday. The bottle appeared to be thrown from the Hibs supporters towards the Celtic winger as he prepared to take a corner during the game at Easter Road. Hibernian also claimed a bottle was thrown onto the field by Celtic supporters, saying: "We understand two bottles were thrown, one from each set of supporters. Scottish football has been marred by several incidents this season in which players and officials have been targeted by supporters. Last month, Kilmarnock striker Kris Boyd said he was struck by a coin thrown by Celtic supporters during Killie's 1-0 defeat to the Hoops.
