Neil Lennon has pointed the finger at a number of Scottish Premiership clubs and questioned their coronavirus protocols.
The Celtic manager confirmed another of his players has tested positive for Covid-19 as he angrily hit back at criticism of the club’s controversial trip to Dubai today.
Lennon missed recent draws against Hibernian and Livingston as he was self-isolating following the mid-season training camp.
And now the Hoops boss has claimed that some Scottish Premiership's clubs have not been following the strict protocols in place.
He said: “Show me anyone who is doing the right things.
“When we played Hibs we had to bus six players in two buses because we were told now that is the way it has to be.
“Three people on a 52 seater bus. That has not been going on throughout the season.
“We have been going to away grounds where we are cramped in like sardines.
“Boxing Day at Hamilton there was no social distancing there, there was no physical distancing.
“It is inconsistent. Protocols of different clubs are inconsistent.
“We go to St Johnstone all crammed into a little dressing room. Inconsistent.
“As soon as Celtic are deemed to do something wrong then bang. You are all wanting blood. It is absolutely scandalous.”
Both St Johnstone and Hamilton have been approached for comment.
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!
