Neil Lennon has admitted that pay cuts could become an issue at Celtic with a review likely at the end of April.
On Saturday Juventus announced that their players would be deferring wages until July while Bayern Munich and Barcelona have already implemented pay cuts.
Closer to home Aberdeen and Hearts have flagged up their concerns about cash flow with the new reality suggesting six months without competitive action.
Celtic have got a far higher bank balance than anyone else in Scotland but they also carry the highest wage bill which brings new pressure.
Top of the range sponsorship and merchandising helps but in the current climate with uncertainty everywhere nothing can be taken for granted- or ruled out.
Covering his interview with Chris Sutton on Five Live The Sun reported Lennon’s reply to the question of whether Celtic could face wage cuts:
Yes, we’ll probably have a look at things at the end of April in terms of the club as a whole. Peter Lawwell and the board will review it then. At the minute, we are okay.
For Scottish clubs, this is the time of the year when they are putting out season tickets but obviously the general public are very wary and reluctant to part with their money.
They don’t know what they are paying for yet and we still haven’t finished this season yet. We don’t know whether that’s going to happen or not. We need to get a decision sooner rather than later on that.
There has to be a backstop date at some stage so we can start to plan ahead. We’re financially robust, but are still feeling the hit.
We’ve been told by the chief medical officer here it’s going to be 12 to 13 weeks in this situation.
So it’s really difficult to plan for the future and you have to prepare yourself as best you can for whatever the outcome is going to be.
Celtic’s last home match was against St Mirren on March 7 with four more home matches scheduled as well as a Scottish Cup semi-final against Aberdeen at Hampden Park.
The SFA and SPFL have kept relatively quiet about their plans for the season but on Wednesday UEFA will host a video conference call with all 55 national associations to discuss the current crisis.
