Andy Robertson has deleted a video showing him playing Table Tennis with Billy Gilmore and John McGinn.
Panic set in at the Scotland camp this morning when the Chelsea midfielder tested positive. Almost instantly the SFA sent out the message that he hadn’t been in close contact with any of his team-mates!
Gilmour has been part of the SFA bubble that John Fleck tested positive for in Spain. As a precaution but not because of self-isolating rules, six players were left out of the squad that flew to Portugal for a friendly against Holland.

Over the last few days Gilmore has been at the Scotland hotel near Darlington, flights to and from London, stayed in a London hotel, played against England, trained with his team-mate and played golf. If there were no close contacts it would be something of a miracle.
In January 13 Celtic players were forced to self-isolate after being close contacts of Chris Jullien when the team returned to Glasgow from Dubai.
In October Ryan Christie and Kieran Tierney were identified as close contacts of Stuart Armstrong after the Southampton man tested positive.
Early this afternoon Gilmour’s team-mates boarded buses for Teeside Airport for the flight to Glasgow followed by more coach transfers to their pre-match hotel.
