RIVAL ATTACK
Killer Celtic fan stabbed Rangers supporter outside Ibrox after he called him ‘Dumbo’ because of his big ears
Brute Lee Noonan, 21, attacked Gary Crawford, 52, with a metal pen over the 'stick out' lugs jibe
A KILLER Celtic fan stabbed a Rangers rival who called him “Dumbo” because of his big ears.
Brute Lee Noonan, 21, attacked Gary Crawford, 52, with a metal pen over the “stick out” lugs jibe.
Noonan’s assault came just 24 hours after he helped to murder a stranger nearby.
The High Court in Glasgow heard Noonan, fellow killer Robbie Brown, 18, and a pal belted out Hoops songs as the victim left Ibrox Stadium with two friends following the Light Blues’ 2-0 win over Hearts.
Gary told how he chanted Gers songs “to drown them out” — prompting one to turn and shake his hand calling it “banter”.
But soon after he was bundled to the ground and stabbed in his chest and arm.
Friend Mark Copper told cops the attack unfolded after Noonan said Gers were “s****”.
He added: “Gary said something like him looking like Dumbo because of his big ears. One of the others said ‘Don’t call him that’.”
He said Noonan produced a weapon before two thugs went “mental” as Gary was attacked.
Noonan claimed the victim had tried to trip him up.
Prosecutor Sheena Fraser said: “You took out a metal pen and stabbed Gary Crawford twice.”
Noonan, of Ibrox, replied: “I thought I only stabbed him once — but I may have twice.”
He admitted assaulting Gary to his severe injury.
Yob pal Brown, of Edinburgh, was also charged over the attack but the allegation was withdrawn.
Details emerged during last week’s murder trial. Noonan, Brown and Paul Green, 31, were found guilty of killing James Watt, 40, at his home in Ibrox in a frenzied attack with knives and a golf club on February 23.
Train worker Green, who accused defenceless Watt of bottling his dad, had recruited the strangers for the deadly assault.
Lord Summers branded the murder “vile and brutal”. Sentence deferred.
