11 days until we gather with our 4 Japanese friends

214
By on CQN BLOG & Comments

Amid the easing of restrictions announced by the First Minister yesterday, there was no update on the limit for outdoor sports gatherings, currently set at 500.  The suggestion by Scottish Rugby, that they could move next month’s Calcutta Cup game from Murrayfield to Newcastle, prompted a private briefing that let it be known this ruling would expire to permit rugby (and football) to return to full crowds on 17 January.  The Edinburgh political/rugby types were relieved.

Given other changes announced yesterday, that positive LFTs should no longer go for a PCR test, it is guaranteed that infection rates recorded (as opposed to actual infection rates) will now drop, providing some credible-looking justification for the decision to loosen restrictions.

That means you, me and four of our Japanese friends will almost certainly gather at Celtic Park in 11 days to face Hibernian, although we will have to wait for a First Minister’s podium appearance next week for confirmation.

Planning anything for the last two years has been a lottery, but should this come to pass, the SPFL clearly chose the correct path in bringing forward the winter break.  I am sure both clubs opposed to the move will commend the League on their foresight.

    Brains have been frazzled and nerves are shot.

    Not sure I did say that but to be clear there would be no reason why anyone who was negative could not attend the game.

    Thanks for the considered response and insight.

     

     

    Always good to consider all the evidence.

    Anyone who comes on with the Anti Jabs,and fake Covid stories,really can’t complain when they either get a bit of abuse,or ridiculed.

     

    I would be the same with a Flat Earth believer,or idiots who say Rangers are 150 years old.

     

    Don’t feel picked on.

    Deniabhoy apologies for the very late response. I’m heartened by the fact that although most supporters have some reservations about almost all of our players the sentiment tonight is that we hope for the best for them regardless. They may not achieve their own ambitions or quite live up to our hopes for them but having respect for their efforts is a Celtic thing. Enjoyed the chat HH
