Celtic SLO, John Paul Taylor has been busy answering questions online all day. He’s the only man at Celtic giving any sort of answers on behalf of the club — it’s his job but more burden has been put on him by the club’s inability to communicate with the fans properly.
One Celtic fan asked about the self isolation period for Celtic players currently stuck in their homes and unavailable to train. Specifically, when that isolation period was due up.
JP delivered an answer of what he ‘believes’ was the case. We have no reason to doubt him at this point and if correct the players will be available from Sunday onwards. Assuming he doesn’t mean two Saturday from now.
I believe it ends at midnight on Saturday

It means a game against Livingston with the same sort of squad we had against Hibernian but the away tie against Livi will see a full strength Celtic back.
The league is over and right now it’s damage limitation for a club who had high hopes back in August.
UPDATE:
It appears there will be a staggered return depending on when contact was made with the positive case.
Just as a follow up, it seems it's differing days as it relates to when close contact occurred
