Scottish football

[Ring master]

Scottish FA chief executive Ian Maxwell has written to all 10 Championship clubs asking if they want to continue playing or suspend their league.

Maxwell has asked for replies no later than close of business on Monday.
In an email sent on Friday evening, he mentions that one Championship club has already publicly called for a suspension of all football.

Maxwell did not name the club in question and there is confusion over who he is referring to.

All Scottish football below the top two tiers has been suspended for a minimum of three weeks due to a surge in Covid-19 cases.

Championship clubs have been allowed to continue their truncated 27-game season, which began in mid-October, on the condition that they test players and staff weekly for Covid-19.

Maxwell wrote: "One SPFL championship club has publicly taken the position that all football should be suspended.

"The Scottish FA would like to understand the position of your club... please confirm if you are content to continue under the current exemption or whether your club considers that the Championship should be suspended."

BBC Scotland has contacted the Scottish FA for comment.

Imagine being a Hearts fan reading that.

Watching Celtic v Livingston, my prediction is 30 yard blinder from Turnbull, then livingston to score in the 93rd minute.

Aberdeen tunked by Ross county.
Yozzer turning things around.

Celtic just don’t have the fight do they? They play Livi again on Wednesday, another slip up there and wins for Rangers at Motherwell tomorrow and at home to Ross County next Saturday and the gap could be 25/26 points

Celtic had 13 players out, plus their manager and coaches. So them results could have been worse.

Motherwell 1-1 Rangers

Fingers crossed that Slippy G truly lives upto his name. If they do collapse, it would dwarf anything Keegan did with Newcastle

It's really not going to happen mate, Celtic are not arranged well enough nor are they good enough to win the rest of their games and Rangers aren't bad enough to drop too many points.
Rumours rife up here Celtic are about to announce Howe as the new manager, how bland and unexciting is that?
They are needing to splash the cash on a decent manager that will bring back the big European nights that Parkhead is renowned for.

Yeah I know, Rangers have the title in the bag.

As for Howe, I honestly think that's exactly what Celtic need right now.

Celtic seem to be a club that is too much of a clique, it's the reason they appointed Lennon. The reason they got Duffy. A Celtic style appointment would be getting O'Neil or Strachan back. Just because they're "all celtic men"

You also have to be realistic. Howe is in the same pedigree as Brendan Rodgers IMO. Only difference is none of the top clubs took the plunge like Liverpool did with Rodgers.

Rodgers had pedigree as a coach before his RS appointment, Howe had done nothing IMO to warrant an appointment at Celtic, let's not forget the one foray he had away from the Cherries was at Burnley where he became homesick, in Glasgow he's twice the distance and a whole world away from Bournemouth.
I get 100% what you're saying about getting away from the Celtic ' Family' and I agree with you I just don't think Howe is that man. I certainly never wanted him anywhere near us as was suggested at one point.

Eddie Howe achieved a lot more in his career and has far more experience as top flight manager, than Brendan Rodgers did before the Liverpool job.

Those lights are lonely....

The reason he left Burnley was because of the death of his mother.

We're on about going into the Celtic job here and as I've said previously he has not done enough as a manager to warrant the job, nor would the Celtic fans be happy with his style of play, they want swashbuckling style, Howe's Cherries were boring, would you have wanted him managing us?

Actually, yeah, I would have liked Eddie Howe before we went for Marco Silva and Sam Allardyce. I thought Bournemouth was good to watch.

Who do you think Celtic should go for?
