With the rise of covid cases, many have believed calling the winter break early may help to protect players, fans, and staff that work within the stadiums. Down south ten top-flight games have already been called off due to players returning positive tests.

Some managers, both in Scotland and England, have called for there to be a halt of football to protect the safety of those in attendance, on and off the pitch.

Postecoglou believes that football should be played until it is impossible to do so. As quoted by Sun Sport Ange had this to say on the matter.

“It is very hard to predict the future with this thing.

“We can have a break and we may find the worst is still ahead of the break and that puts more pressure on fixtures and clubs further down the line.

Nicola Sturgeon has warned that if she receives funding from the UK Government she will impose restrictions on events such as football. It’s not clear if she means reduced capacity or no fans at all. It is anyone’s guess if the devolved government will receive the funding.
