BREAKING NEWS: Scottish football in Covid chaos with THIRTEEN Celtic players forced to isolate after a team-mate tested positive on return from Dubai trip amid questions over social distancing… as all-but the top two divisions are halted
Celtic have been rocked by the news 13 players and three members of their coaching staff have been forced to isolate after their controversial trip to Dubai, on the day they are meant to play Hibernian.
Celtic spent six days in the UAE and after being tested upon their return to Glasgow, returned one positive case.
Their Monday clash with Hibs has now been thrown into doubt and the news emerges on the day that football across Scotland underneath the top two divisions was halted in an attempt to curb the ongoing rise in Covid-19 cases.
Celtic had already faced criticism over their warm-weather training camp, with Scotland’s First Minister Nicola Sturgeon questioning whether they were complying with social-distancing rules after photographs emerged on social media.
The pictures showed members of the Celtic squad not distancing or wearing face coverings.
