NEIL Lennon has urged Celtic supporters to follow medical advice during the coronavirus crisis.
The Parkhead club haven't played since the SFA and SPFL Joint Response Group suspended all football in this country on Friday, March 13, in an attempt to halt the Covid-19 outbreak.
But Lennon, whose men were 13 points clear at the top of the Ladbrokes Premiership and in the William Hill Scottish Cup semi-final, is primarily concerned with the wellbeing of fans.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced strict new measures to combat the spread of coronavirus on Monday night and Lennon has appealed to fans to heed them.
Speaking to the official Celtic website, he said: “This is obviously a very worrying time for all of us, and I just want to pass on my thoughts and best wishes to all of our supporters on behalf of all the coaching staff and players here at Celtic.
“We want everyone to stay safe, to follow the expert advice that has been given and to keep looking after each other and out for each other. That’s what all of us are doing with our families."
Lennon continued: “Of course, we’re all part of the wider Celtic family too. It’s something that we’re all proud of, and everyone at the club appreciates the support our fans always give us.
“The Celtic family is a worldwide one, and we know the Celtic fans will continue to show the solidarity and togetherness for which they’re renowned throughout football.
“This is a difficult time for everyone and the priority for all of us is to look after ourselves and to look after each other, but I also know that everyone here at the club is looking forward to when we are able to get back playing in front of our fantastic supporters at Celtic Park."
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!
