The Scottish Football Joint Response group is currently in a meeting with the Scottish Government after it emerged Celtic player Boli Bolingoli had broken strict rules and travelled to Spain at the start of last week.
The news comes a week after Aberdeen players had to self isolate when two tested positive for the virus because they visited a pub in Aberdeen city centre.
For the second time in less than a week, Scottish football’s governing bodies are meeting with ministers to explain Covid breaches. Game is hanging by a thread.

The Scottish Government have been clear they will pause Scottish football if the professionals can’t do the right thing and live within their sporting bubble.
Players are in a privileged position – they get tested on a weekly basis and they’ve been given the dispensation to continue to work and be paid during this crisis. With so much at stake for Celtic this season, it’s unfathomable we would see such a selfish approach from anyone at the club. It was a needless trip by Boli and he will have to take whatever consequences come his way.
