Was always likely to happen if they couldn't get fans in https://www.glasgowtimes.co.uk/news/18738262.celtic-vs-Rangers-cancelled-due-scotlands-latest-round-lockdown-measures/ Seen this coming a mile away... Can't just cancel one game, the league has to be cancelled for "weeks"... Still think the October school week will be extended to 2 weeks and a national lockdown will happen... Case rate will decrease for 3 weeks then the shit will hit the fan again... Rinse and repeat Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the same will happen this season. They'll find a reason to postpone the competition once they take the lead, because the government will enforce another lockdown as Covid numbers are predicted to rise again.

No laughing at the back regards sorting the midfield. I agree. Aribo and Jack might not be world beaters but they are two of the best we have. Having them fit again will be a massive boost.

jintybear 8,536 Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 I know this could be bullshit but I genuinely wouldn’t be surprised. I always said if they couldn’t get fans in then they would have at least half their first team squad with positive COVID results to get it postponed. Now a precedent has been set that teams have to play regardless of whether they have no players then this will be the next best option. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing that came out yesterday was that the Premiership would be unaffected but the lower leagues could be put back . Shit stirring media Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think the corresponding game at Ibrox will be moved if the same circumstances arrive? I don't. We would be ordered to play without a crowd if the ban is in place at the time.

GersInCanada 7,775 Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 scum don't want to face us it's that simple. Can't have us ahead if the season is curtailed. No reason at all why the game cannot be played. Like almost every game to date it will be bcd. The nonsense, and that's what it is, about packed pubs and people having parties is not worth discussion. tarrier deflection and nothing else.

Like it or not mate the biggest game in Scottish football and the one the TV companies are interested in is the old firm. It is much more interesting having the fans in the ground than not and that is why it was moved, in hope some fans would be back in Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game won't be cancelled and will go ahead. My point stands regarding it being pencilled in for October instead of September though as that was completely done to try and have some fans in through the gate. Chelsea and Liverpool aren't the same as the premier league is huge globally and its standard of football draws an audience in. Scottish football is nowhere close to the same level on a global scale and it is the hatred between us and Celtic that draws the neutral viewer in. The game won't be cancelled though as there's no reason at all for it to be cancelled Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely long term putting out click bait shite like this turns people off the ‘journalist’ or outlet?
