It looks like the SPFL will be announcing the end of season 2019-20 very soon.
As there are no plans to play any more games, especially now that even closed door games are banned under the new lockdown rules, it seems that in order for the season not to run into next season and create all manner of problems, UEFA will tell the associations to put an end to it.
As we have seen, if the league is cut short, then there are rules in place to deal with that, and Celtic will be announced as champions.
A pyrrhic victory of sorts, but a victory nonetheless.
Probably explains the host of…if only i could think of a word beginning with H ….former Rangers former players lining up to question the sporting integrity of , er, the rules.
There’ll be no Scottish Cup, and therefore no fourth consecutive treble, and now that they’ve stopped that, can the virology department of the SFA please release the vaccine and antidotes they’ve got stored to rid the rest of us of this accursed pandemic.
That the SFA commissioned biological warfare experts to stop the ten cannot be any worse than any of the other dopey conspiracy theories flying around out there just now, though as far as I’m concerned there’s certainly a motive…
Meanwhile, Neil Lennon has spoken to the fans… and offered a message of support.
“This is obviously a very worrying time for all of us, and I just want to pass on my thoughts and best wishes to all of our supporters on behalf of all the coaching staff and players here at Celtic.
“We want everyone to stay safe, to follow the expert advice that has been given and to keep looking after each other and out for each other. That’s what all of us are doing with our families.
“Of course, we’re all part of the wider Celtic Family too. It’s something that we’re all proud of, and everyone at the club appreciates the support our fans always give us.
“The Celtic Family is a worldwide one, and we know the Celtic fans will continue to show the solidarity and togetherness for which they’re renowned throughout football.
“This is a difficult time for everyone and the priority for all of us is to look after ourselves and to look after each other, but I also know that everyone here at the club is looking forward to when we are able to get back playing in front of our fantastic supporters at Celtic Park.
“Take care. You’ll Never Walk Alone.”
Celtic have only really spoken when there’s been something to say during the current crisis, and sometimes less is more.
On the other side of the coin, on the other side of the river, more is definitely less….
Rangers offer Albion Car Park to NHS staff and key workers during coronavirus pandemic
RANGERS have offered the use of their Albion Car Park to NHS staff and key workers.
Ibrox will remain empty for the foreseeable with the SPFL season postponed indefinitely due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
And Gers will offer the local car park to NHS staff in the nearby Queen Elizabeth University Hospital as well as members of the police and army after a request from fan group Club 1872.
Nearby ?
It’s dark, you’ve just finished a gruelling twelve hour shift surrounded by dead and dying…and then a forty minute walk through Govan…
Probably to find you’ve got a parking ticket, as it was the club who said you could use the car park, and not the company.
But the Scotsman didn’t think of any of that ….then again, thinking isn’t something the media do…
As for the virus itself, and trying to live through this nightmare, Ashley Young, a footballer with Milan, tells it like it is…
Borussia Dortmund players waiver salary to help 850 employees
Borussia Dortmund bosses and players have waivered a percentage of their salary, saving more than €10 million for the remaining 850 employees, according to Kicker.
Per a message released by BVB, players would “voluntarily” forego money to “show solidarity with the club’s 850 employees and their families.”
Rangers will sign Ianis Hagi permanently claims Dorin Goian as he raves about club’s ‘financial muscle’
” I know Rangers and their financial potential very well. I can tell you if they are satisfied with him – and I think they are – it certainly won’t be a problem for them to pay the money to Genk to sign Ianis.
“Let me tell you a secret about Rangers’ financial muscle. When they were put into the fourth tier in Scottish football they not only wanted me to stay, but they offered me the same money I was on in the top league. ”
Which is exactly why they are the only club that wants to wait…forever if need be…to play the rest of the league games so they can grab a few more quid to stave off the inevitable.
Something else to make the hordes proud….
Rangers Youngster Nathan Young-Coombes Says He’d Rather Be in Lockdown for a Year Than Play for Celtic
No, I don;t know who he is either, but if I was a Celtic scout he’d be top of the list for the next window, if only to withdraw the offer once he’d told us how proud he was….
And wouldn;t it be fun if Celtic bought Lewis Feguson, just so we could invite his dad and uncle Baz to the title parties…
Speaking of Uncle Baz, can it possibly be true he’s on £5,000 a week to achieve senior football at Kelty Hearts, and if so, shouldn’t he turn up more than a few days a week ?
Wouldn;t surprise me, given that in April 2018, the BBC unwittingly noted they have a sporting advantage…
Kelty’s population has shrunk by almost a third to 6,000 following the demise of the coal industry, but the football club have benefitted from £7m of council and business investment in facilities that include a new artificial playing surface and a main stand with seating for 350 to be built this summer.
I’m surprised that Mr Ferguson and Mr Malcolm have got into bed with another club that has been handed a sporting advantage…
In the absence of Knob of the Week, we continue to mention those who have raised the bar, and today we recognise yet another raising of the bar for knobberry…
You may have seen this guy on social media, licking his way along a shelf stacked with what looks like hand sanitizer…
A Warrenton man was charged with making a terrorist threat after he filmed himself licking bunch of items at Walmart.
“Who’s afraid of the coronavirus?” Cody Pfister, 26, taunts in a video he later posted to social media.
The video spread around the world, and Warrenton police said in a statement the department had been contacted by people in the Netherlands, Ireland and the United Kingdom.
“We take these complaints very seriously and would like to thank all of those who reported the video so the issue could be addressed,” police said in the statement.
The video appears to have been filmed on March 11 at the Warrenton store, according to court records. Pfister was taken into custody this week, and Warren County prosecutors charged him today. The charge is a low-level felony.
Bizarrely, he’s not the first person to get in trouble with police for licking surfaces as public health officials beg people to wash their hands, keep at least six feet apart and avoid touching their faces in hopes of slowing the spread of COVID-19. The manager of a grocery store in Wisconsin called police after a woman licked the door handle to a freezer, reportedly to protest the virus, while a manager was disinfecting the store, Newsweek reported.
There have been more than 44,000 confirmed cases of the coronavirus and more than 500 deaths in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The city of St. Louis announced its first death, a woman in her 30s, just yesterday.
Pfister was booked into the Warren County jail without bond. He has previous convictions for burglary, theft of a firearm, drug possession and driving while intoxicated.

Funniest story in the Daily Wanker about SPFL clubs and their survival. They prattle on about the mighty Sevco, a share issue in progress and unbelievable funds trickling in from the Far East, probably they mean the Coronavirus. Stupid stupid huns.
Caption; Happy ‘Bowzer’, the police dog who brought down a Covid-19 positive burglar, is blissfully unaware that the burning fire pit in the distance is not a barbeque…
Do TUPE rules not mean that a player has the right to continue with the same contract if his contract is bought over by a new company? I. E. Sevco couldn’t have legally offered to pay him less if he opted to stay with them.
I am open to correction on this point if I’ve got that wrong.
I had a dream, of jelly and ice-cream,

My brother is the nurse in charge of the “special” ward for corona virus patients in a nearby hospital. He has totally inadequate PPE, and no access to testing.

Erm…
“A Pyrrhic victory is a victory that inflicts such a devastating toll on the victor that it is tantamount to defeat.”
If we’re announced as champions, it will simply be a few games before it was inevitably going to happen anyway.
I’m not sure what analogy you were reaching for but “this is not the analogy you’re looking for!”
It is. I’m afraid many of us won’t be able to savour it. I’m looking at the bigger picture

This buffoon and his idiotic leadership has caused so many lives already. He is going to cause more.
Boris Johnson has been accused of letting “Brexit ideology dictate his approach to Coronavirus” after the government refused to take part in an EU scheme to procure much-needed medical equipment.
European countries have banded together collectively to procure bulk orders of ventilators and personal protective equipment, with the first phase now having secured “offers of considerable scale on shortest notice”.
The UK was invited to take part in the scheme, which is leveraging the 500 million-person single market’s huge buying power to secure faster and cheaper orders with less admin at a time of extreme global demand.
But UK officials confirmed on Wednesday that Britain would not be taking part in the scheme, after previously having said the government would decide which way to go.
The prime minister was questioned about the availability of equipment in parliament on Wednesday and said orders were being delivered to UK hospitals where doctors have been warning of a shortage.
Unions on Wednesday also warned there was a need for more equipment in the social care sector, where workers are looking after vulnerable elderly people most at risk from Covid-19.
“Care workers and their employers have huge concerns about getting their hands on the equipment they need,” said Unison assistant general secretary Christina McAnea.
My wife or any of her colleagues hasnt been offered a face mask they are attending to the most vulnerable in our community, yet the bin men have all our frontline services need them the sooner the better.
Onto football matters
Sevco I’m sure will make this grand gesture that all the players are willing to take a paycut in support of our armed forces and the nhs when in reality its doomsday calling.

Ralph,
Leave that crystal ball where it is. Yesterday’s news is the safest way to inform the rangers they’ve gone burst in a very similar way to Rangers in 2012. They abhor forewarnings. Like that youngster, they prefer twelve months in quarantine or, as we would call it, administration.
