....my daughter and her husband went to Dubai last week (ahead of lockdown) and messaged me today saying she understands Celtic are staying in her hotel. It’s very smart but a massive tourist hotel, so surely they’d be somewhere more isolated.

Celtic win 9 in the row, then sign Shane Duffy and become utter rubbish.

What a terrible player he is.

Rot set in when Rodgers left. Getting Lennon on board was just a backwards step and Celtic board is being punished right now because of it. Writing was on the wall after the Copenhagen defeat last year.

I don't know what Celtic supporters thought they were getting with Shane Duffy, we released him years ago after failing to impress on numerous loans in the Championship. He's a Championship level player who was deemed surplus to requirements at a club fighting relegation.
 

I thought the sending off was a poor decision and completely ruined the game. Sure, Ryan Hedges clipped Morelos, fair enough, it's a penalty. But what was the red card for? Last man? He still had Campbell to beat.

Ref also couldn't wait to blow that whistle bang on 92 minutes.
 
"...things change on a daily basis and we're now all too acutely aware of how deadly this virus can be and for Celtic to embark on such a trip, (especially after) Neill Lennon of course was so scathing about Scotland's protocols when they went on an international trip and he had to do without David Turnbull for a while, so I'm not sure what he thinks about the trip now, maybe he still thinks it's a good idea, maybe those on the Celtic board still think it was a good idea, I've got to say I think they're hopelessly out of touch with any Celtic supporters I've spoken to feels about it"

Andy Walker seems a little unimpressed
 

Celtic Football Club confirmed today that Christopher Jullien has tested positive for Covid-19 and is self-isolating at home. We wish Christopher a speedy recovery.

While all of the other members of the squad and backroom team have tested negative, we have been informed by the authorities that, having been deemed ‘close contacts’, Celtic manager Neil Lennon, assistant John Kennedy and 13 first-team players will be required to self-isolate on a precautionary basis as required by the current regulations.

The Club would like to thank the Scottish FA, JRG and the Scottish Government for their assistance in managing this case. Celtic will, of course, fulfill its fixture against Hibernian this evening.

Clearly we are hugely disappointed, as we know our supporters will be. The contacts were identified during the period from Wednesday last week, primarily around flight and team coach travel, during which time Celtic applied the same rigorous protocols used for pre-season training camps, UEFA match travel and for all domestic match arrangements in Scotland.

These protocols have served us well in the past, as the Club has not had one positive case in our own ‘bubble’ until now. As we have already stated, Celtic’s decision to travel to Dubai for a training camp was for performance reasons. Whilst we were in Dubai, the announcements made on January 4 significantly changed the COVID landscape.

The reality is that a case could well have occurred had the team remained in Scotland, as other cases have done in Scottish football and across UK sport in the past week.

Celtic has done everything it can to ensure we have in place the very best procedures and protocols. From the outset of the pandemic, Celtic has worked closely with the Scottish Government and Scottish football and we will continue to do so.

I'm absolutely baffled by that trip. What did they think would happen?
 
Scottish football below Championship level has been suspended for three weeks due to the rising number of coronavirus cases.

The impacted leagues are: SPFL League One, SPFL League Two, Scottish Women's Football Premier Leagues 1 & 2, Highland League, Lowland League, East, West & South of Scotland Leagues, Scottish Junior FA Leagues and the North Caledonian League.

The second tier Championship will continue provided it starts weekly PCR testing for players and staff.

So the Celtic player who tested positive for COVID-19 is an injured player whose out for 4 months and is on crutches.

What training is he going to do? Is he playing in the next FIFA or PES E-tournament for Celtic?

Watching Celtic implode this season is like reading the fall of the Roman Empire. Not only have they got to deal with the arrival of the Huns, over reliance on loans and overspending, but they're also become lazy, complacent, and completely out of touch.
