It’s a moving story that will likely keep moving not just this week but in the weeks to follow.
The outbreak of the coronavirus has seen many sporting events throughout Europe either cancelled or gone ahead without anyone in attendance.
As the Glasgow Derby approaches and even beyond that, we can’t safely say there won’t be similar repercussions in Scotland in a bid to stop the spread of the virus.
Yesterday, the SFA were saying business as usual. Today, they’re saying the same, BUT with the caveat, clubs should be checking their insurance.
Clyde one reports on the latest statement coming from the SFA:
“Member clubs are urged to review the terms of any business interruption insurance they may hold, if future matches may be cancelled or have to be held behind closed doors.”
We were continuously told on the TV screens at Celtic Park how to minimise the risk of a spread. But the club gave us no chance; hygiene calls for hot water to help contain the virus, the taps were freezing cold. There wasn’t enough tissue paper or soap in the toilets I visited at Celtic Park before and during the game.
It might have to come to a shut down because stadiums don’t have fundamental supplies they already should have at their disposal.
