Neil Lennon’s ban on Sky Sports speaking to players has barely lasted 24 hours.
The Celtic boss warned that the SPFL’s main broadcaster wouldn’t get access to himself or any players until Andy Walker apologises for his comments about a ‘jolly’ to Dubai.
The broadcast deal requires clubs to make a player and member of the management team available to Sky Sports before and after the match.
? “We’re just looking forward to getting back to football now.”
Scott Brown and Ryan Christie admit self-isolation has been hard but both feel Celtic are ready to bounce back from their coronavirus outbreak after the club’s controversial trip to Dubai.

In mid-afternoon today Sky uploaded an interview with Ryan Christie discussing having to self isolate for the second time this season.
Celtic’s decision to contradict their manager highlights what appears to be a growing rift within the club. Yesterday Celtic never issued any tweets from Lennon’s media conference with no sign of it on the club’s You Tube channel.
The action moves on to Livingston tomorrow, first up Sky are likely to include Andy Walker in their commentary team with Lennon’s claims bound to be put to the former Celtic striker.
Before the 8.15 pm kick off Celtic have to provide Sky with an interview with a member of the management team, putting up John Kennedy would be the obvious solution.
