Originally published at: SPFL dodge Celtic and St Mirren requests in official statement on crowd restrictions
The SPFL have issued a statement with the SFA on Nicola Sturgeon’s announcements over football matches, without making any reference to Celtic or St Mirren. After St Mirren asked for a postponement for tomorrow night’s game against Celtic, there has been nothing from the league authority as of yet. Instead, the SPFL’s Chief Executive offered…
If we are forced to play The Rangers with no fans, it’s another kick in the plums for sporting integrity. There’s far too much at stake. Regardless of what other clubs might say, our scheduled game on 2ndJanuary IS a special case. Celtic must insist on a postponement…
‘that’s the way the cookie crumbles’ just isn’t acceptable in this instance.
I agree ,possibly £35-40m at stake here. Unfortunately the huns will argue that if it’s postponed we’ll have injured players available that wouldn’t have played on 2nd Jan. We’ll argue that if we have no fans they have an unfair advantage. Whatever decision they come to somebody is going to be very happy.
Remember the first covid outbreak in scotland in the february at a Nike convention in Edinburgh they kept silent on for a month while it ravaged un jagged or un prepared nursing homes through out the country until Mid March but let 50.000 huns watch their side go out the Europa cup then decided lets cancel the Sundays old firm game. Cancel being the word here.
We’ll go to Paisley forced to play a match that should not go ahead and then Celtic squad will get it and we will get the blame for everything.HH
