Scotland went into the current level of restrictions with an infection rate marginally below that of England, this week, we are marginally higher. Millions of individual actions go into these figures but evidence for the effectiveness of closing outdoor events does not exist. They remained open in England but shut in Scotland.
Scottish Rugby have a home game against England at Murryfield scheduled for 6 February, a game they threatened to take to Newcastle, if current restrictions were not lifted. Newcastle United host 50,000 spectators each home game without troubling their infection rates. On socioeconomic terms, football and rugby are miles apart.
Our governments in Edinburgh and London only care about one when their flag of choice can be waved to a patriotic anthem. Scotland moving a rugby game to England, or vice versa, would be anathema – the opposite of a patriotic opportunity. Whatever steps necessary to keep the Scotland-England rugby game at Murrayfield will be taken.
Today, the First Minister has little choice but to relent and open what is scientifically believed to be the safest way to meet and interact with other people – outdoor events. I fear some random limit below Celtic Park capacity, and of a temporary nature that expires before 6 February, but hopefully 60,000 of us will be able to gather on Monday to see our new Japanese recruits play for Celtic for the first time.
We are far from through with this scourge and need to follow scientific advice (if not government words and actions). Limit indoor interactions, keep windows open and all spaces ventilated, meet outdoors whenever possible, follow clear scientific advice and roll up your sleeve. And are you really too special to wear a mask?

Love him or hate him,John James was bang on the money at the time with the Robertson story.I remember following it at the time.The female officer involved was his Tart.
How can this Bigot still hold down a senior position.Maybe the clue is in the word “Bigot”.Old customs die hard among the higher echelons of Strathclydes finest.
Lisbon – not seen before fans view

Flip the world on its head by switching two words, competition – cooperation.
No more competing against each other and creating a global rat race in the process, but simply cooperating with each other, simple eh? Mr Stein said football was simple, and look at the state of it now, twisted out of shape by smart arses for whom simplicity was never going to be embraced. The Ubuntuplanet.org plan requires each of us to work just three 3 hours per week 15 minutes long video well worth the watch.
If you can’t reach the video from that link then its on brandnewtube.com the site for folk who’s books are burned by YouTube.

As far as the possible signing of Mcgree.
I can’t see who he would displace in the midfield.
If Riley McGree does not sign for Celtic I will be missing out on a helluva lot of pun opportunities.
And that’s the real tragedy here…
who is it that goes on about “jobs for the bhoys”
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FIvge0gWYAEkfEl?format=jpg&name=900×900
seems strange that Celtic agreed a deal of £3 million for Riley
then suddenly Middlesborough offer £5 million
seems like a big jump from 3 to 5 million its almost double the fee
why didnt Middlesborough not just offer £4 million and save themselves
a million
Sounds like some agents in play to bump up fee and salary

Looking at that picture I would be asking a few questions of the groundsman.
Boris, doesnt believe he did anything wrong, go figure.

Neither did PL.
Similar levels of performance.
