  1. Statement o'clock. It's like the SPFL summer all over again.

  2. BREAKING - Hibs asked for additional testing

    Hibernian have just released a statement, confirming that they asked the SPFL for Celtic's squad to be re-tested today to ensure the safety of the Easter Road side's players.

    "We regarded this as a reasonable request – given the incubation period of the virus – but, unfortunately, our request was refused," Hibs's statement said.

    It added: "The SPFL made clear that not fulfilling the fixture would have severe consequences for Hibernian. The club also notes that we are being asked to fulfil this fixture less than two weeks from our Betfred Cup semi-final.

    "We have been assured by the SPFL that any Covid 19 issues that may arise from fulfilling this fixture will be taken into account, and the semi-final postponed if required."

  3. 'They have monumentally miscalculated the feeling of the country'

    The decision making at Celtic over the last year or so has not been great. I think the result of that is there for all to see at the moment.

    On the park there's been a wee bit of an uplift in the last few games but that's all forgotten about as the season as a whole has not been good enough.

    Their decision making off of it have not been up to the standards that the club have set over a long period of time in what was such an historic season for the club. It magnifies the situation.

    On the Dubai issue, they have monumentally miscalculated the feeling of the country and what was the right thing to do.

  4. You can refresh your memory of the events over the course of the last week concerning Celtic's trip to Dubai here.

    There's a lot to pack in. There is no question that Celtic broke any laws or rules in going to Dubai, they were fully entitled to do so.

    The question many are asking is whether it was a sensible decision, particularly in light of today's news that 13 of their squad, plus manager and assistant manager Neil Lennon, must self-isolate for 10 days after Christopher Jullien's positive test.

  5. Monday night soap opera

    Welcome to our coverage of just your average, run-of-the-mill, Monday night Premiership match between Celtic and Hibernian, right?

    Sportsound is on air right now with reaction from another episode of the Scottish football soap opera. We'll bring you the all important team news and all the build-up. Going to be an interesting one.
