A Hampden source has claimed the SPFL are wary of calling the league before UEFA are completely happy with the situation and all other options are off the table.
The SPFL have a plan in place should the games not be able to go ahead — but any decision on the season being brought to an end will not come as early as Friday according to RecordSports source:
“UEFA clearly want leagues around Europe to hold off before making any final decisions on ending this current season so they are unlikely to give permission for countries to do their own thing. There is no chance the SPFL will just ignore this and declare Celtic champions on Friday.
“But it is expected they will be open to requests from any league which has ‘exceptional circumstances’ and the SPFL will most probably be one of them as our new season is scheduled to begin with the League Cup in the second week of July.
“And that’s before the latest Government advice is even factored into the equation as well as the First Minister’s warning about the dangers of playing games behind closed doors.”
Celtic want to play the rest of the season in some capacity if it’s possible. The bhoys were cruising to their ninth consecutive title when this crisis hit.
It looks highly unlikely there will be any football played this season. It’s hard to see when next season will even happen.
Leagues around Europe are all doing different things — England are trying to get games finished with so much money on the line. Their season doesn’t start in July so they have some more scope.
For Celtic fans, it’s a waiting game. These are unprecedented times and there’s just no telling when we’ll get to see our team again.
