A CASH reward of £20,000 is being offered in return for information about a firebomb attack on Celtic supremo Peter Lawwell's home.
Crimestoppers Scotland believes the local community holds the key in tracing the culprit who torched the former Hoops Chief Executive's house in May.
The charity is appealing for members of the public to come forward, where all anonymity will be retained.
Mick Duthie, Director of Operations, said: “The potential risk to life from this kind of attack means we urgently need anyone with information about those responsible to come forward before someone is seriously hurt.
"We know it can be difficult to speak up about crime, especially if it’s about someone close to home or because you may be fearful of the consequences. However, that’s why Crimestoppers is here for you – to take your information whilst you stay completely anonymous.
“Since we began in the late 1980s our charity has always kept its cast-iron guarantee to the hundreds of thousands of Scots who have trusted us with their anonymous information over the years.
"You can use our easy and secure anonymous online form at crimestoppers-uk.org to pass on what you know or you can talk to us by calling our UK Contact Centre which is open 24/7 on freephone 0800 555 111.
"Not only may you be eligible for a reward, but you’ll be doing the right thing.”
Around 40 firefighters scrambled to the scene of the former Celtic CEO's luxury Thorntonhall home at 1am on May 19.
It soon emerged that firebugs had torched his cars and his house during the reckless early-morning attack.
The former Celtic boss and his family luckily escaped to safety, however, large parts of their home were ravaged by fire.
The family were left "extremely shaken" by the horrifying ordeal.
A spokesman for Celtic said: “Clearly, Peter’s family are extremely shaken and shocked by these terrible events, but thankfully all are safe.
“We understand that Police Scotland are currently undertaking a criminal investigation.
