Another celtic player has covid.

[blackpoolhibs]

After their trip to Dubai, i wonder if he played against us last week, as Lennon is not saying who it is.

[04Sauzee]

BREAKING: Celtic manager Neil Lennon has confirmed that one more player has tested positive for #COVID19, following the club’s training camp in Dubai.

[Halmyre Hibee]

I think SPFL need to ensure Hibs & Livingston are fully updated and not detrimentally affected if that player played against them.

[04Sauzee]

Neil Lennon also says he feels noone else is due an apology from @CelticFC for the Dubai trip except the club's supporters, and that the decision to go was his ; and that it should therefore have been him and not Peter Lawwell who should have apologised

[Oscar T Grouch]

Hopefully not one we played against last week!!

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/55708291

[Lendo]

What a joke. Any other team outside of the bigot twins would be getting hammered for this.

[calumhibee1]

What a ****ing shock eh. Still though, how ridiculous of Hibs to have suggested testing again before the game :rolleyes:

Is it any wonder some of our players didn’t want to play?

[Scooter]

Player was already self isolating after trip so he hasn't played since returning

[BILLYHIBS]

Who knew?

[EdinMike]

Sounds like it was one of the 13 that isolated. Wonder if it would have been picked up if Celtic had done the test we asked for last week...

[Hibee Mac]

Says it is a player who was already self-isolating so fingers crossed that means the Hibs players have not been exposed

[Peevemor]

I'd be bothered if it had been someone who played last Monday. As it stands it shows that the system in place works.

[calumhibee1]

Even if it was somebody that was self isolating, that player would most likely have had different close contacts than Julien and as such they should probably have had even more players out than they did. I wouldn’t be surprised in the slightest if they knew about this at the time.

The whole thing is a shambles.

[Onceinawhile]

After their trip to Dubai, i wonder if he played against us last week, as Lennon is not saying who it is.

Someone who was self-isolating apparently, so wouldn't have played against us.

[blackpoolhibs]

Even if he is one of those who isolated, surely to god the whole squad should have isolated when they came back.

You just cant guess who might have caught it and who hasn't? :confused:

[Spudster]

How has he managed to get a test if he's self isolating?
Postal self test?

[calumhibee1]

That’s nice of him. I can’t say I’m surprised in the slightest that he let someone else be the face of the fiasco though.

[Peevemor]

Even if it was somebody that was self isolating, that player would most likely have had different close contacts than Julien and as such they should probably have had even more players out than they did.

The whole thing is a shambles.

Hardly, otherwise half the developed world would be self isolating. The risk is negligible from someone newly contaminated.

[Heisenberg]

Wee Lenny has come out swinging. Feels there’s an agenda against Celtc, everyone is being hypocritical and going for a drink after training was within the rules (which I don’t think it is?). Trying his very best to deflect away from results on the park.

[calumhibee1]

Aye, you’re right. It’s been actually quite well handled. I’m glad Scottish football hasn’t been made to look amateur here.

On the Dubai photographs (Lennon having a beer and players in restaurant) - “for me there’s nothing wrong with the photographs. We were sitting there on a day off. This has been a stick to beat us with and it’s totally preposterous.”

Lennon does himself no favours at times. He's been found out as a manager and is now lashing out.

He should step away from the limelight for a while as I genuinely don't think it's good for him.

[Scott Allan Key]

[Radium]

Medical records are rightly private and Test and Protect will assess if anyone else is affected (beyond anyone they are living with).

If the player wants to publicise the information that is their prerogative.

[DH1875]

Shouldn't be hard for media to work out. They were back in training today so whatever one of the 13 that didn't turn up, could well be yet man.

[Since90+2]

I also don't get what he is trying to achieve with this. The thing has mostly blown over now and Lawell sort of said sorry last week.

What does he have to gain by coming out all guns blazing? It's bizarre.

Hypocrisy! Lenny you're turning your club into a laughing stock.

I still believed he was wrongly treated by certain people at our Club but when he comes out with this drivel I'm glad he's no longer our manager.

Celtic hold themselves up as being the best run club in the country. Aye right!! Merely a Club who have funded themselves by peddling sectarian bile for years.
Those who organised and approved this trip should be getting their jotters at Celtic.

[JimBHibees]

Absolute slaver it was remarkable only 2 players were tested positive. Hopefully people slated by him stand up and correct this nonsense.

[Jones28]

Absolutely delusional.

It's not so much they way they conducted themselves at the time that annoyed me - it's what I've come to expect from the old firm - what has really pissed me off is the total lack of contrition for anything that has happened.

They near as no difference brought the game in to disrepute; they organised a trip abroad during a national pandemic which crass at best; they then had a player test positive but then refused to get the rest of the squad tested and now their manager comes out with this?

No apology to Hibs, the players or the rest of Scottish Football. Not an ounce of remorse at what happened. **** off Celtic. I revel in your club missing out 10IAR even if it means Rangers winning the league. It happened in the best possible way, so the rest of Scottish football could laugh at the seethe from your fans and your petulant ***** of a manager.

Any shred of respect I had for NL for this time at Hibs and some of the things that have happened to him has evaporated after watching that.

[DH1875]

Without asking who, I presume this player wasn’t available against us?

Yeah didn't play against us.

[gbhibby]

Celtic chose to ignore their fans who have coughed up a lot of money to buy season tickets. Some fans on social media have been questioning the trip for months. Celtic have not come out of this well with regards to public relations. Neil Lennon statement does not help in this regards.

IT also deflects away from the poor performance his team had at the weekend, Lennon is a master with the press, while everyone should be talking about results Celtc have been getting Lennon goes on a rant that they didn't break any rules in Dubia, if you didn't know better you would think he is trying upset some high up folk so they call time on football for the season.

Hope you are well my friend. :aok:

[MyJo]

This is Lennons pattern, does well for a short time, eventually gets found out as being nowhere near as good a manager as he and the Scottish media think he is, blames everyone but him for bad results, has a tantrum or conflict and gets binned.

He knows he has ******ed it up and he is on borrowed time so is lashing out at the injustice of people daring to question the bloody stupid idea of taking an entire squad to Dubai for a piss-up......sorry training camp.......in the midst of a pandemic.

He will be gone by the end of the month now that the league is all but lost and any new manager won’t carry the blame of losing 10 in a row. Just a pity he’s likely to stay on our screens as a pundit when he does get the boot

I thought he was a good manager for Hibs - and he's been very successful at his current club.

So taking the things he says publicly like today’s outburst doesn’t count? You don’t need to know somebody to know if they are bad news or not.

I personally don’t give a hoot who wins the league, it’s of zero consequence to most of us.

However in saying that, Celtic’s utter arrogance recently has made Rangers winning their first league title more palettable and the prospect of them chucking away 10 in a row the far more entertaining option.

How does this impact the current squad and their likely team for Wednesday night? Surely contact tracing for the newly diagnosed player will need to take place which will result in more of them having to self-isolate, including potentially those who were fine before?

I guess it depends what the protocols are for asymptomatic cases. I'm not sure I've seen them anywhere.

Normally people are tested due to having symptoms and tracing goes back 48 hours prior to the onset of symptoms. I'm not sure what they do if the person didn't have symptoms though... They might assume it's fine on the theory that asymptomatic people are less likely to infect anyone (which I believe is disputed).


Was this the first round of tests Celtic have went through since the round that caught Julian? I thought I'd seen it mentioned that they'd had no further cases previously.
I guess he could have caught it while in isolation through food deliveries etc but that would seem unlikely.

There’s no “bubble” - the rules only don’t apply when they cross the line to go on the pitch otherwise they should be following the same rules as everyone else. That goes for Scotland and Celtic.

His and their reaction to what's going on is pretty pathetic. They've dominated football for the last decade, and in particular since 2016, so shouldn't be surprised that the media and others are enjoying having a wee kick now things are not going according to their script.

[gbhibby]

He has got a point. The Scotland players had a game after that one and were tested they were in a bubble Players have been told not to get too close celebrating goals recently. If a club are unhappy with other clubs facilities they can get ready on the team buses and not use their facilities. It's up to clubs to do risk assessments of their facilities and to provide other clubs with copies if requested I am sure the SPFL will have asked for these from all clubs before sanctioning games.

Suggest rather than listening to snippets people listen to the full interview that was broadcast on BBC Radio tonight. Right up to and including Lennon walking out in the huff. Should be available on download later this evening.

Comes across like Donald Trump. It's suddenly everyone else's fault and a conspiracy. Pee'd myself laughing when Lennon obviously gets a piece of paper slipped across the table that a second players tested positive.

He is desperately trying to goad the Scot Gov into calling the season.

[lord bunberry]

I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s sacked before they play their next game.

I was going to say that they'd wait for a free midweek as that would be less disruptive, but it seems that they are playing every midweek from now until late February.

Their own fault for not being sensible enough to fit a game in last week as opposed to disappearing to Dubai.

Strachan’s laddie will be getting another shot in the dugout soon.

Yes, they are at it.

Word on the street is we have 2 positive players. More tomorrow. Allegedly.

From a prominent St Johnstone twitter fans account:


Lennon claiming there was a lack of social distancing at McDiarmid due to the size of the away dressing room. A nice piece of deflection - but a lie. Celtic were given the four dressing rooms usually used for the astroturf to allow them to space out.

As if.

[04Sauzee]

As if.

If it's the celtic fan on twitter saying that Hibs have 2 and Livingston have 1 then I'd take that with a pinch of salt.

Would it have been long enough to incubate for a Livi player to come up as a positive?

[JimBHibees]

As if.



Chick Young, Mason Boyne, Walter Mitty or someone reliable? :greengrin

Not even sure when clubs test?
When they get their results back?
How a celtic fan would know about Hibs and Livingston?

Start and end of the week now. End of the week ones come back the day before a game.

70% of statistics you read online are nonsense... I think 🤷

[Cod Boy]

I would guess the press would be all over this if true

I would guess the press would be all over this if trueAnd I'd hope that they won't be if there's nothing in it.

Absolutely would or will be

He has got a point. The Scotland players had a game after that one and were tested they were in a bubble Players have been told not to get too close celebrating goals recently. If a club are unhappy with other clubs facilities they can get ready on the team buses and not use their facilities. It's up to clubs to do risk assessments of their facilities and to provide other clubs with copies if requested I am sure the SPFL will have asked for these from all clubs before sanctioning games.

The Scotland thing wasn't the best. Can debate all day long the similarities and differences, end of the day though, 2 wrongs don't make a right.

[Lancs Harp]

Slightly off topic regarding Celtic but on topic with Covid I see Shrewsbury manager Steve Cotterill has been in intensive care with C19. Goes without saying but will say it anyway I hope he makes a speedy and full recovery. Brings home the lack of understanding and reality behind Celtics thinking.

I agree. The whataboutary in his conference was not good at all. He was talking about two other clubs facilities, deflection tactics. I don't think any Scotland players returned a positive test. Sometimes in life and in business you need to admit errors of judgement and move on. The two Celtic players who returned positive tests, I hope they recover and get back playing. Watching the BBC six o'clock news this evening shows how bad this disease is.

Oh. The @CelticFC ‘review ‘ of Neil Lennon’s situation : ‘ongoing’ , I’m told.

[gbhibby]

The Celtic Star has published the whole interview questions and answers.

I'm sure he'll be moaning about fixture congestion next.

"it's a disgrace that our club is singled out by having to play all of our league games this season - can you no give us the league half way through the season like last time."

[ekhibee]

This is Lennons pattern, does well for a short time, eventually gets found out as being nowhere near as good a manager as he and the Scottish media think he is, blames everyone but him for bad results, has a tantrum or conflict and gets binned.

He knows he has ******ed it up and he is on borrowed time so is lashing out at the injustice of people daring to question the bloody stupid idea of taking an entire squad to Dubai for a piss-up......sorry training camp.......in the midst of a pandemic.

He will be gone by the end of the month now that the league is all but lost and any new manager won’t carry the blame of losing 10 in a row. Just a pity he’s likely to stay on our screens as a pundit when he does get the boot

Yep, some very good points there which I totally agree with, but to be fair I don't think he ever did well at Bolton, he was **** from start to finish, although they were a bombscare of a club.
