It seems that there are no lengths that people will go to stop Celtic winning the league!
With the Glasgow derby just three days away the Scottish Government and the SPFL will be keen to delay any restrictions on Scottish football until next week.
The SFA and SPFL have issued two statements this week with one prompting clubs to check their ‘Business Interruption Insurance’ and the other warning that the SPFL has no cash reserve to tide clubs over if games are played behind closed doors.
Over the next month Celtic have only one scheduled home match, against St Johnstone on March 21. The SPFL may be forced to delay their five rounds of post-split fixtures.
The measures expected to be announced later today.https://t.co/vwyaVXVAGh
