Brilliant, just brilliant!

Jullien tests positive

The Scottish Government has given tonight’s clash between celtic and Hibs the all-clear after last-gasp showdown talks on Monday.

Neil Lennon will miss the game alongside John Kennedy along with 13 players after Chris Jullien tested positive.

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.

Wow. Still trying to play down their fuck ups.  Hahaha

Game is on according to their statement. Kennedy and Lennon also isolating

I dont buy it.

They are saying they are willing to play the game, because they know the SG are going to demand it is postponed. Dont trust the fuckers one bit.

Im convinced its a statement they have made so they can try to claim the moral high ground that they were willing to play and the SG forced them not to.

Karma much?

Are these players missing for any of the Livi games too?

Guess it all depends on the dates of the test / date of symptoms showing for Julian:

"The rest of the household should remain in isolation for 10 days from symptom onset in the symptomatic person, even if they don’t have symptoms themselves. 

Everyone who tests positive for COVID-19 will be put in touch with the local contact tracing team so that other close contacts can be identified. These close contacts will also be asked to self-isolate for 10 days from symptom onset in the symptomatic person. "

Yep thinking exactly the same thing, the way its worded, 'the club will of course fulfill its fixture'

They say anything else and it opens them up to forfeit

The Scottish Government has already given it the go ahead, see above as being reported by many media outlets.

What makes this even sweeter is that, if they were truly going for elite fitness training, then Julienne would have been left at home to recover from injury.

But it was a jolly so the cripple who shouldn’t have been there is the very one who brings Covid into their camp.

If Carlsberg did elite training camps.....

:lol:
 

PS: if they are 13 players down, I’d expect a maximum of three points out of nine from Hibs/Livi matches.
