My heart bleeds.

Hope he’s alright, obviously.

[AugustaHibs]

Is it 10 days or 14? 10 and he’ll make the game (no sure if he’ll be fit enough of course) but 14 days and he misses it

[Brightside]

10 if positive. 14 for those in contact.

[macca70]

This is why they needed clear guidelines in place weeks ago for what happens in each of these scenarios.

5+ players unavailable = postponement
Less than 5 isolating = gam on

Something like that as now it’s going to be chaos anytime Rangers or Celtic players test positive.

Wonder how long he’s had it for, played on Sunday. Does the full 1st team need to self isolate?

[Spike Mandela]

Mason Boyne clinic did the test.:greengrin

10 days from test date or when symptoms first show i think? Will only be able to train in isolation assuming he's feeling ok.

He is out of the Ugly Sister fest. He tested positive in France and must quarantine for 14 days on his return.

[macca70]

Celtic fans suggesting Rangers fans infected him deliberately!!!

[BoomtownHibees]

I don’t think that’s a rule (for footballers anyway)

[Irish_Steve]

Whilst not really wishing misfortune on any one, I want their three keepers to get it to see what the SPFL do - after all, they made St. Mirren play - old Zlamal is probably cleaning his gloves as we speak

Bring in a free agent for a couple of games? Someone like Rob Elliot.

International football just seems unnecessary to me just now

That’s not correct. Elite sports don’t have to quarantine

He is in France and covered by their regs

[04Sauzee]

Can the French make you quarantine in a foreign county on your return?

[BoomtownHibees]

He is in France and covered by their regs

He won’t be when he returns to Scotland

[Sir David Gray]

He is in France and covered by their regs

France won't have any say on whether or not he quarantines when he comes back to the UK.

[B.H.F.C]

France won't have any say on whether or not he quarantines when he comes back to the UK.

Will they not have a say on when he can travel back to the UK though?

Don’t know their rules on isolating once you’ve tested positive but presumably he can’t just travel back when he fancies. He’s no an MP after all.

[Gloucester Hibs]

Would that not just apply when he’s part of the Celtic team “bubble”? Which he will no longer be whilst he self isolates in France 🤷*♂️

He will have to isolate where he is yes, if it was the UK it would be 10 days from the on set of symptoms or from the test date. I'd imagine it's the same or close to being the same all over?

I think if you test positive whilst abroad (I know he's French but for the purposes of this, he is abroad as he works in the UK) you need to isolate for the rest of your trip in that country but I'm not sure whether you are able to leave that country on your scheduled departure date.

True, but should he be allowed on a plane when he's tested positive?

Surely that puts all the other passengers, plus crew, at risk.

I’d imagine he’ll be tested again before he’s allowed to get on a plane back to Scotland

Try telling that to UEFA and the sponsor and advertising money the rake in. I completely agree mind you.

Can just imagine a Celtic official at CDG testing him every hour next week 🤣🤣

[PatHead]

Don't really get excited at the thought of international football nowadays either. However I wonder if Scotland were more successful and qualified for tournaments, if we would all feel differently?

[CentreLine]

Interested to see what happens if it turns out to be a false positive and the Glasgow Derby thing happening in ten days time. 🤔
Rule change coming up maybe 🤔🤔

[hibbyfraelibby]

They have a say on isolating where he currently is. Being tested as part of the Celtic bubble is irrelevant.

1. He will be refused permission to fly by the airline
2. He will be breaking French law if he leaves or has left his isolation.
3. The previous Celtic player who travelled for an overnight bit of rumpy pumpy in Spain failed to quarantine on return from a country where you had to. He was in the Celtic Bubble and got fined by the Police.
4. Watch this space after 2.30pm and the new restrictions to be announced by the FM

I've often wondered what happens if you're on a 10 day holiday and you test positive after day 5. Who picks up the tab if you need to isolate in your hotel and you need to extend your stay for a period of time and rebook your flight home?

Unless they have insurance specifically for that purpose, I'd imagine it would be the holidaymaker themself that would have to pay.

It will depend on your travel insurance but I would suspect the individual is most likely to pick up the tab as they travelled knowing the risks. Soem people with an annual policy taken before mid March might be covered

I would. I’m desperate to hear the national anthem at a tournament.

I absolutely agree if anyone has booked a holiday recently but what happens if your holiday was booked pre-Covid?

No option to cancel without losing all your money and if you pick up the virus over there then that's perhaps a bit different.

If you had booked travel insurance (good) before mid March then I think you would be covered albeit I could see a bit of a battle with the insurer.

He played 120 minutes 2 days ago, surely both teams would need to fully self isolate?

No. This isn’t what happens. As we’ve seen plenty times already.

[Since90+2]

I genuinely can't remember an instance of a player testing positive less than 48 hours after playing a match. The incubation period of the virus means he was infected when he played on Thursday against Scotland.

Stewart Armstrong this week. Played For Southampton on Sunday, tested positive by Tuesday. Only those deemed close contacts isolate.

Ok cheers.

There seems to be a huge amount of football players who have now tested positive. Fortunately I don't think a single one seems to have had anything more than at worst mild symptoms with it (or atleast it's not been reported if they have).

[Smartie]

When the Scotland team celebrated the way they (understandably) did after winning on penalties I did think that if one of them has it, they’ll all have it.

I predict that over the next week, post-international and pre-OF game that this becomes the biggest pantomime we’ve experienced yet.

It’s going to be mental.

[Dmas]

Nir Bitton positive on Israel duty now, here’s hoping Rocky is fine

I think football has to get on with it. There will be times when some teams are disadvantaged and times when it will be in there favour. We suffered with Gogic v Aberdeen. Hopefully it’ll favour us down the line.

Exactly what I was thinking , they are good friends over here so you can imagine he has potential to be a close contact

I agree.

It’s the nonsense surrounding any OF game, let alone this one, that I object to.

I also question the wisdom of International football taking place right now. I wonder if it might be more trouble than it’s worth.

Although giving exasperated folk something interesting to watch on tv isn’t a bad idea at all.

Would we hear if his test was fine? Maybe through word of mouth but doubt it would be through press or the club. They don't usually make announcement for players that are ok.

I’d imagine we wouldn’t find out until Wednesday when their team is announced.

Did El Hamed play? Hearing he has tested positive now.

Yes he started.

He has 10 days SI.

But he may not be match ready, according to the press.

I didnt realise you had to quarantine for 14 days in Scotland, I thought it was 10, same as in Holland. No wonder sellik feel aggrieved.

It's 10 if you test positive. 14 days if you are a close contact of someone who tests positive.
