DETTY29 Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 40 minutes ago, Footballfirst said: Statement o'clock https://www.celticfc.com/news/2021/january/Celtic-Football-Club-Statement/ Celtic Football Club confirmed today that Christopher Jullien has tested positive for Covid-19 and is self-isolating at home. We wish Christopher a speedy recovery. While all of the other members of the squad and backroom team have tested negative, we have been informed by the authorities that, having been deemed ‘close contacts’, Celtic manager Neil Lennon, assistant John Kennedy and 13 first-team players will be required to self-isolate on a precautionary basis as required by the current regulations. The Club would like to thank the Scottish FA, JRG and the Scottish Government for their assistance in managing this case. Celtic will, of course, fulfill its fixture against Hibernian this evening. Clearly we are hugely disappointed, as we know our supporters will be. The contacts were identified during the period from Wednesday last week, primarily around flight and team coach travel, during which time Celtic applied the same rigorous protocols used for pre-season training camps, UEFA match travel and for all domestic match arrangements in Scotland. These protocols have served us well in the past, as the Club has not had one positive case in our own ‘bubble’ until now. As we have already stated, Celtic’s decision to travel to Dubai for a training camp was for performance reasons. Whilst we were in Dubai, the announcements made on January 4 significantly changed the COVID landscape. The reality is that a case could well have occurred had the team remained in Scotland, as other cases have done in Scottish football and across UK sport in the past week. Celtic has done everything it can to ensure we have in place the very best procedures and protocols. From the outset of the pandemic, Celtic has worked closely with the Scottish Government and Scottish football and we will continue to do so. So if they had stayed in Scotland, they would get planes to training.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sierra Delta Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Stuck £20 on at just over 5/1 with SkyBet when it was first confirmed, just cashed out for £41. No faith in Hibs to actually beat them tonight, especially if those rumoured to be isolating turns out to be true. In hindsight should've chucked a decent amount on it and cashed out given the minimal risk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R1874 Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Bain in goals and no subs - otherwise alright team. If they were playing anyone else i’d want them to get pumped. Would be too funny for them to beat Hibs tonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julien (sp) was obviously in training on how to use his crutches to walk to the hotel bar to mix with his mates. Remember the pictures only showed a minor blip according to JK who has been pushed on to the podium to defend CFC.......wonder if wee Lenny is in his bed under the weather? There seems to be a lack of empathy on this thread to the player who has contacted Covid Yeah poor Julien . . . . **** them all 😆. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it works they won't have to punt Lennon. Cheated by covid myth will take hold and they will seek to diminish the Orc title win. Which might be viewed as harsh on a team winning their first ever league title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That throws your players under the bus becauae if Celtic have done everything, then it's the individuals fault. Probably not, but any kicking they get is surely ok.

Green erse-cheek don't get their 9.79 in a row. Blue erse-cheek get a title that is very heavily-tainted. Not quite as heavily-tainted as last year's but still not as meritorious as they'd wish for.

If you caught a Rangers fan breaking into your house he’d batter you and try to escape.

Tokyo Drifter Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 I'm not given to conspiracy theories but you do start to wonder if Celtic are aiming to have the league declared null and void, now that they're not going to do the 10 in a row. They've got plenty of Yes men on the SPFL board who would back it and I'm sure Doncaster could be, er, won over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gmcjambo Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Celtics arrogance is of the scale. No humility, no responsibility, no lessons learned. Mind blowing, especially when they are having to isolated due to taking an injured player on an ‘essential’ training camp. There are so out of touch here they can’t even see how much they are damaging their own club and the wider game. Absolute clowns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've got plenty of Yes men on the SPFL board who would back it and I'm sure Doncaster could be, er, won over. Got my doubts it would happen. The precedent was set last year. It would need an SPFL resolution with at least a 75% vote in favour of N&V. Highly unlikely given last years fiasco. It would take a shutdown of a significant period before that could even be considered a serious option. And even if it was put forward, I don't think for 1 minute it would get voted through.
