News of positive tests and self-isolating has hit Ibrox fans hard tonight with one supporter really struggling to grasp the concept.
Used to getting their own way and getting through last season, without reporting a single positive test, the club will now be decimated ahead of two vital matches.
Following the eight hour round trip by coach to Dingwall the remaining players fly to Armenia tomorrow for the second leg Europa League qualifier against Real Alashkert. It is not known if they will have to obey the same social distancing rules as Celtic had coming back from Dubai.
All players testing positive and identified as close contacts will now be at home for the matches against Real Alashkert and Celtic.
The identity of the missing players will be obvious from those boarding tomorrow’s flight to Armenia.
Is it just the league game they miss, can they still play in Europe?

They can play in both as long as they wear masks.

Yes because that’s how Covid works. It doesn’t exist for league games. Should be good to go bro

The new rules state that they can play as long as they hold their breath every time someone comes within 2 meters.

If they appeal the positive result they should be fine. Case won’t be heard in time.

Don’t worry mate. It’s the company they play for, not the club. They are good to go ?
