Tom English has accused Neil Lennon of one-eyed nonsense over his ‘Champions’ claim.
Under a barrage of questions at a media conference yesterday the Celtic boss gave the same answer as most others to the hypothetical question of ‘what if the season ends’ after the outbreak of the Coronavirus.
Football will resume at some stage, it is more likely to be two months away than two weeks with no-one able to offer an informed opinion.
Neil Lennon is doing a brilliant job at Celtic, but sorry, this is total one-eyed nonsense. Play the league to a finish whenever possible. If next season has to be truncated/League Cup binned/winter break ditched then fair enough. https://t.co/CcZnayHk7p

On Thursday lunchtime the Scottish First Minister gave the green light to this weekends’ fixtures, before 12 noon on Friday football was suspended until further notice.
Boris Johnson did likewise, on Thursday at 5pm there was no need to cancel mass gatherings, at 11am on Friday the EPL and EFL had suspended fixtures until April 4.
However long the game is suspended the current season will be ended before the new one begins. Football is liquid, teams move up and down, one team is declared the Champion of their country.
Tom English has reported on eight successive Celtic title successes, his ninth report is delayed, not postponed.
