Anyone returning to Scotland after being in Spain must spend 14 days in corona quarantine. These were rules that the 25-year-old Belgian Boli Bolingoli missed. Not only did he not know about the restrictions, he did not tell anyone either.

Because when Celtic played a league match away against Kilmarnock on Sunday, the Belgian was substituted in the 87th minute.

Second indicator

Now the Scottish Government is threatening to shut down the league game, which is only two rounds old. It is not enough that Bolingoli has broken the rules. A few days earlier, eight Aberdeen players were out at a bar and shortly thereafter, two of the players tested positive for corona.

"If another serious incident is confirmed in Scottish football, where protocols are broken, the Scottish Government will have no choice but to consider pausing the league game," they wrote in a statement.

Celtic have condemned Bolingoli's actions and the player has apologized.

Celtic condemn

"Celtic condemn the behavior of player Boli Bolingoli when he travels to Spain without informing the club while failing to comply with quarantine restrictions. It is difficult to imagine a more irresponsible act in the current circumstances and we believe that it is inexplicable ", the club writes in a statement.

On Wednesday, Celtic would have met St Mirren in the league, but that match is canceled.

On 25 or 26 August, Celtic will probably wait away from home for Djurgården in the second qualifying round of the Champions League in case the "Blue Stripes" manage to get past Hungarian Ferencvaros in the first round.
