Celtic player took trip to
Spain and failed to self-isolateAberdeen and Celtic’s next two matches postponedNicola Sturgeon, Scotland’s first minister, has warned Scottish
Football matches could be shut down after she condemned Celtic and Aberdeen players for breaches of
Coronavirus safety rules that have led to both clubs having their next two games called off.
The first minister said the Celtic defender Boli Bolingoli was guilty of a “flagrant breach” of the UK’s quarantine rules after he flew to Spain. He returned to his club within 24 hours without self-isolating, and then played on Sunday against Kilmarnock. Last week, eight Aberdeen players broke the sports lockdown rules by visiting a bar together; two of those have since been diagnosed with Covid-19.
