    A don’t think so mate, Even though they aren’t playing for 2 weeks,most of the players wont be ill and will or should be doin exercise in isolation like treadmill bike and things and should be coming back fairly rested fit and raring to go , a honestly don’t think missing 2 weeks of football will have them coming back not match fit, on previous years On winter break they went 3 weeks Without a game but came back looking sharper and fitter than ever

    Hope so. Although this is lennons team and they aren't as drilled as Rodgers had them about fitness.

    They came back from a weeks intense training (no laughing at the back) followed by actual training at Lennoxtown.

    Hindsight, any pretence of the Dubai work is out the window since they are sitting on their * at home. I would hope a lot of them are doing everything they can, but judging by how some of that group have looked this season and after summer, I doubt it.

    I get the morals/ethics argument I really do but the flip side to that is once it comes time to start paying the bill, for all of the grants/schemes put in place and everything else, is those companies who haven't taken what they are entitled to get will still face the same tax increases as those who did take what they are entitled to apply for.

    That's about Dubai being corrupt and morally bankrupt. Another reason not to go there ever again.

    Regardless of anything else international travel at present is very risky. Add to that traveling to areas where arseholes are going to avoid social distancing and other public health measures is moronic and dangerous.

    ITN contacted us earlier in the week asking if we knew who took the photographs and as we didn’t it got us thinking. So we thought we would try to find out.

    The photographs and videos that have been splashed all over social media, the MSM and even reached First Minister Nicola Sturgeon were allegedly the work of a small group of obsessed Rangers fans, including Investor Alan McLeish (who used to own QTS) and his son Barry.

    Allegedly Operation Stop the Ten turned up in Dubai and duly hit the jackpot as a few Celtic players gathered in a secure and private area within the hotel and some of the staff, including manager Neil Lennon and club captain Scott Brown, relaxed poolside enjoying what was probably their one and only beer of the festive period. But for Celtic the optics were terrible and Dubai was all downhill after that.


    Of course Celtic should not have gone to Dubai to give Operation Stop the Ten the alleged opportunity to take these photos and start the ball rolling in the media and on social media that ended up with the trip turning into a fiasco and a total disaster for Celtic. And when Christopher Jullien tested positive for Covid-19 – the first positive result Celtic have had after numerous trips abroad this season – those bears on Operation Stop the Ten knew that they had really hit the jackpot. Neil Lennon, John Kennedy and 13 first team players had to self isolate and were forced miss both the game against Hibs and tomorrow’s home match against Livingston.

    As Celtic dropped two points against Hibs the McLeish chaps and their blue-nose buddies on the alleged Operation Stop the Ten might be forgiven for being rather pleased with their alleged efforts but and there’s always a BUT….allegedly.

    This time the alleged BUT is Karma. Allegedly a nasty Covid-19 Karma. It seems that having got back from Dubai themselves the alleged candid camera blue-nosed Bears have apparently and allegedly started testing positive themselves. Get well soon. Allegedly.

    Who gives a * who took the pictures? If we weren’t there, there wouldn’t have been pictures to take at all.

    I honestly couldn’t give a * if a couple of hun fans caught the virus.

    What a pointless article.

    The league was finished long before Dubai. Dubai didn't kill the season but it's part of a long list of embarrassments this season

    Hang on, didn’t the huns play a game and allow travelling fans from Germany? It then transpired that one of their fans died as a result.
