A video clip from Syria has shown how some fans are getting around the restrictions imposed by Behind Closed Doors football.
The old style stadium was empty as the team in red scored but behind the goal- on top of a block of flats- the supporters celebrated without the slightest sign of social distancing.
Had the same number of supporters been in the stadium they’d have been much safer with plenty of space around the old style terraces.
This ‘football without the crowd’ malarkey is going well. pic.twitter.com/2UxlK3tmFm

So much for social distancing! Where there is will, there is always away.

Over the last week Spain and Italy have joined Germany in resuming the season with matches played BCD.
On Wednesday the EPL resumes with matches at Aston Villa and Manchester City before a full weekend of matches including the Mersey derby at Goodison Park.
Scottish football will be able to learn from the experiences elsewhere in Europe with a staged return for supporters planned when the season resumes in August provided the medical results continue to move in the right direction.
