          It's still only one confirmed positive I think, the rest are isolating presumably as a precaution

            Just caught up on the story.

            The fact that they flew out to Dubai the day the country went into lockdown raised more than a few eyebrows.

            Their assistant manager said at a press conference yesterday they had been guilty of 'minor slip-ups' whilst in Dubai and now this

            Looks like they're playing the kids tonight. I imagine the SFA have told them play or forfeit.

              Getting the season cancelled might be their best chance of stopping Rangers from winning the title and keep their hopes of 10 in a row alive

              In all seriousness it was a really stupid idea to go away in the current world situation.
              The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.

                    English and Portuguese teams playing their home games of a two-legged home tie in Greece and Italy. What a farce.

                      All Premier League games to be made available to watch live until fans can return to stadiums

                      All Premier League fixtures will remain available to watch live in the UK until fans are allowed to return to stadiums.

                      Games will continue to be broadcast by Sky Sports, BT Sport, Amazon Prime Video and the BBC.

                      Broadcast selections for March and for the rearrangement of previously postponed games will be announced in due course.

                      On Monday, Prime Minister Boris Johnson is expected to announce how the current lockdown in England will be eased.

                      Premier League football has been played behind closed doors since the 2019-20 season resumed in June following the first coronavirus lockdown.

                      However, pilots with a small number of fans were permitted in the English Football League (EFL) in the autumn while some Premier League clubs were able to welcome up to 2,000 fans in December.

                      But games were soon moved back behind closed doors amid rising cases of Covid-19.

                      Fans initially had to pay a £14.95 pay-per-view fee to watch some top-flight matches from October, but the scheme was scrapped the following month following significant protests among fan groups.

                      Earlier this month, Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden told BBC Sport there was a "long path ahead of us" before fans could return to stadiums.

                      "I'm very optimistic in the medium-to-long run, but I do think we need to progress with caution in the short run," he said.

                        The FA Cup final - potentially in front of 20,000 fans - and the World Snooker Championship are among the proposed pilot events to test the return of big crowds to venues this year.

                                Although we only have 1 more home game.
