THE delay in allowing fans to return to stadiums is “political, rather than clinical”, according to two of Scotland’s top football administrators.
Scottish FA vice-president Mike Mulraney made the claim and was supported by SPFL chief executive Neil Doncaster.
With these two in charge of Scottish football no wonder it’s in the state it’s in. I’m sure all fans would love to get back to watching football in the traditional manner, even on a cold, wet day in Scotland.
Maybe either of these two recently qualified virus experts could tell us why the Scottish Government for some evil, bizarre, perverse political reason wants to keep football fans out of football grounds?
Could it really be that the Government does in fact not want the fans to catch a potentially fatal disease and take it home to their family, friends and neighbours?
When Mr Doncaster meets with Sports Minister Joe FitzPatrick, I hope that Joe puts on his football boots, shows this man a big red card and points to the door of his office.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
