Nicola Sturgeon has SPFL on Covid red alert as Wales lock supporters out amid 'significant development'

Every club in Scottish football was placed back on Covid red alert as fears grow that the new Omicron strain might send the game back into lockdown.

And concerns have been heightened with the Welsh Government announcing sport is going behind closed doors from Boxing Day.

 

[ShanksRFC 3,869]

We will find out this afternoon.

I fully expect some restrictions on large scale events such as football games from Boxing Day going on what's been hinted at in some news articles this morning.

[Siam69 26,941]

I think it's near certain games will be BCD's very soon.

But like England, Wales and i think everywhere else in Europe, games will still go ahead.

Shite news. I was looking forward to sheep away on 29th with fans 

[Monkey Butler 23,029]

Where's the evidence that football games have been mass spreader events?

It's not news mate, it's just conjecture at this stage. Same media fearmongering every day. 

[Wearethepeople72 1,845]

Absolute joke, the government can provide funds to the clubs then to give fans their money back.

[BlueKnight87 17,295]

At this point reckon it's BCD for games until the winter break. 

[GersInCanada 7,775]

After Boxing Day it's either going to be bcd or very restricted numbers allowed in. No way they will allow capacity crowds.

All depends how Omicron variant pans out and how deadly it is.

That's what's ripping my knitting....it's already been proved that it is a very mild variant compared to say the Delta variant....only because it spreads quicker are the government getting their knickers in a twist....yes case numbers are up but hospitalisation isn't rising....why the fuck are we getting vaccinated, getting our boosters to still be told we have to live under restrictions for something that is like catching your normal winter cold....fucking joke

Thing is that won't be known for a while and so they will take the cautious approach.

There’s none but they said there was proof that the steps concert was a spreader but didn’t ban any other concerts.

We have been back at football for months now with no reported outbreaks but still the wee bastard is going to fuck us.

If cop26 was planned for next week it would still go ahead.

[eskbankloyal 19,446]

Been told Sunday will now be behind closed doors (well 500 can attend) and will be the case for 3 weeks.

Not true mate, I've seen on the news that they have run the lab tests and it is a very mild variant.....it's because it is easily transmitted that is causing them to panic....whilst they fanny about worrying about people catching the equivalent of the cold the emergency services are getting stretched because of isolation which puts other lives at risk because they may not get the medical treatment they need in time

If it's for three weeks i'd hope normal business resumes after the winter shutdown.  Absolutely scunnered it's at this stage. Again.

I don’t believe for a minute it will only be for 3 weeks

Masonic government trying to help the Rangers by emptying park head before the old firm

 

[PrsosPonytail 170]

It's happening. 500 max. Pubs and restaurants back to table service too.

[JC10 1,449]

Don't understand the obsession with the old firm game being behind closed doors. 

Got 50k Rangers fans, including 40k odd season ticket holders, that won't get into Ibrox on Sunday. 

[don1972 491]

Is it 500 each or total ?
