Watched them vs hibs on Monday and thought their luck was back when they scored so late so turned it off, checked bet365 not long after and seen the 1-1 score line, was ecstatic 

Rookie mistake this season mate. Those are sore ones to take when they score so late but with big office Duffy at the back you know there is hope. I woke my two year old screaming when Hibs scored.

It's 10 days from when they got home from Dubai. Which was last Friday I think. 

Saturday they got home and had to be tested, Sunday threw up the positive test.....as I'm aware it's now 10 days from the positive test....which takes it to Monday

Doesny seem right. Worth keeping an eye on.

[hammer93 9,693]

A point worth noting is that they didn't start the self isolation period until the Monday......unless they were already isolating from Saturday

As they’re isolating as contacts, it’s 10 days from the contact. I’d imagine most of them are contacts via travelling either on the plane or the coach to/ from the airport so it would be 10 days from the day they flew home.

Big Kris Boyd nails them again. 

 

I CAN just picture Gerry McCulloch and everyone else in the celtic media department now.
“That was great, Peter. You’ve got that spot-on.”
“You think so, Gerry?” says the club’s chief executive as he stands up from his chair and takes off his microphone, “Do you think that comes across OK?”
“Oh yes, Peter. You nailed it. Perfect.”
And there you have celtic’s problem in a nutshell.
A chief executive who is making so many mistakes right now. And no one around him who is prepared to stand up and say so.

He said sorry over the trip to Dubai on celtic TV
Because who in their right mind thought that “apology” was a good idea?
My Sky Sports colleague, Andy Walker, got it spot-on when he said the first 40 seconds of the interview were decent.
For a brief moment, Lawwell sounded like he was willing to hold his hands up and accept complete responsibility for the monumental error of judgment which led to celtic’s trip to Dubai.
But he couldn’t help himself, could he?
No sooner had he said he was sorry than he started to play the victim card.

And suddenly he was spouting nonsense about how the Covid pandemic had affected them more than any other club in Scotland.
It’s such a staggering statement to make that it’s almost unbelievable.
I mean, wasn’t he paying attention when Hearts were kicked out of the Premiership last season? Or when Partick Thistle were relegated to League One?
Hasn’t he noticed how those clubs have been teetering on the brink of extinction on the back of that decision?
The Jags had a game in hand in the Championship when they were booted down a division. They’ve fought tooth and nail to remain full-time and avoid redundancies.

But since then they’ve seen other clubs given £500,000 in funding to keep their heads above water while they depend on handouts from their fans and much smaller cheques.
If anyone has any right to feel hard-done-to in the last 12 months, it’s Jacqui Low at Firhill.
There is a long list of clubs who could claim to be the worst-affected in the country but they don’t see it as some sort of competition.
celtic do. And clearly Lawwell does. The fact he was even thinking like that as he was supposed to be issuing an apology to supporters sums up how out of touch the club is.
Sure, celtic have lost a lot of money this season. Going by the fact they have the biggest stadium in Scotland, maybe that’s how Lawwell quantifies it.
But the “poor old celtic” act is pathetic.

They actually benefitted from the season ending prematurely last year because they were given the title.
They would probably have won it, to be honest, but they were still named champions when the season wasn’t actually completed.
I just cannot understand why no one at celtic listened to that interview before it went out and said, ‘Guys, this sounds awful’.
celtic supporters must have been watching it through the cracks between their fingers. It was the worst sit-down since Jim White went to meet Charles Green in his hospital bed.

celtic have just lost all grip of reality.
They thought it was a good idea to spend huge sums on five days in Dubai — and then a week later are furloughing their Under-18s to save cash.
Surely it must have crossed someone’s mind that people might start to ask questions about that.
Look, Lawwell had to come out and say something. When Christopher Jullien tested positive, meaning Neil Lennon, John Kennedy and 13 players couldn’t be involved for the Hibs game, it was time for some crisis management that he simply couldn’t avoid.
But if you’ve got no grasp on the mood out in the real world, and if no one is prepared to tell you, then you’re asking for trouble. And all it does is back up everything people think.

celtic supporters have been accusing the club’s board of being short-sighted and blinkered for a long time.
They weren’t happy with the appointment of Lennon after Brendan Rodgers waved cheerio.
And since then they’ve seen things go from bad to worse with appalling recruitment. They’ve been digging a hole for themselves for so long that it’s hard to see how they recover.
The league is over, Rangers are champions in all but name, and things are so brutal at celtic they don’t even know how to say sorry.

Boys showing them tarrier cheerleaders how to actually act when being a pundit. Yes it's a hint of bias but everything he is saying can be said by every other club in the country.

From champions to a battle for second?

Having arrived back from Dubai on Friday, Celtic soon found themselves in the eye of a storm. On Sunday they reported a player - later confirmed as injured defender Jullien - had contracted coronavirus. And on Monday a further 13 squad members as well as manager Neil Lennon and his assistant Kennedy were told to quarantine.

Yet thanks to David Turnbull's sublime free-kick the champions' much-changed side were just three minutes away from victory over Hibs on Monday evening before familiar flaws resurfaced and a poorly defended set-piece cost an injury-time equaliser.

Added to Old Firm derby defeat, it leaves Celtic still searching for their first win of 2021. It has also effectively killed off any lingering hope of resuscitating their bid to become the first Scottish club to win 10 successive titles. Celtic's deficit on Rangers is now 21 points, or 22 considering their vastly inferior goal difference, albeit with three games in hand. Even the optimistic Celtic fan is resigned to the trophy changing hands.

And as Rangers disappear into the distance, should Lennon's men now be more concerned with looking over their shoulder? Celtic are five points clear of Hibs and seven above Aberdeen, having played fewer matches than both, but their inconsistency this season gives rivals hope.

"Celtic's season has unravelled so badly that it's now got to the situation where they need to concentrate on second spot," says former Hibs, Hearts and Scotland midfielder Michael Stewart.

"They need to start getting points on the board to build confidence. Hibs and Aberdeen are not a million miles away and if Celtic don't pick up the points in the next two games against Livingston, for example, then you can seriously start to question if they are in for a challenge for second.

"That's how bad the season is becoming for Celtic."

Doesn't work like that, the news broke on the sunday so I would imagine they were tested either friday night or saturday morning, they then tell whoever tests positive to isolate from whenever the symptoms first started or if they have none then its 10 days from the test, the close contacts are then contacted and told to isolate from there last contact so they might no have seen Julien since the Friday night leaving the plane which would make it 10 days. 

It did used to be 14 days for close contacts but they recently changed it to 10.
