Neil Lennon has no doubt about who should be declared as SPFL champions if the 2019/20 campaign can’t be resumed.
At 11.45am this morning the SFA and SPFL produced a joint statement announcing the indefinite suspension of football at every level.
With 30 matches played Celtic have a 13 point advantage with no definite date of when the current campaign will resume, or if it will resume.
Neil Lennon on league suspension:
We’d be champions & rightly so. We’re over 30 games into season, they’re not going to take that away from us.
This virus has taken people, taken loved ones, it’s a nightmare situation, we have to put everything to one side@STVSport for more

Some desperate Ibrox fans have taken to social media to have this season declared null and void, a view that their manager might not share for English football.
Clearly Plan A of the authorities is to resume the season as soon as it is safe to do so but it looks increasingly likely that the European Championships could be put back a year to allow domestic seasons to be completed.
If the season isn’t completed there is a knock-on impact for next season in terms of promotion and relegation and also European places.
Dundee United are within touching distance of clinching promotion to the SPFL Premiership with Motherwell currently in place for a return to European football.
