It is about this time now that Ryan Christie should have adrenalin pumping through him as he prepares to get ready to walk down the tunnel at Ibrox for a Glasgow derby clash.
Instead, Christie like every other pro football player in Europe is left sitting on his hands wondering what will happen next. Not just to his sport, but to friends, family and people in general. There is only one topic of conversation around the world at the moment and that is Covid-19.
The virus has wreaked havoc around the world and affected every person and industry in the most indiscriminate way. The midfielder who has been in the form of his life admits in a report from the Daily Record that all everyone is talking about at the club is the deadly virus.
“All the players have been talking about it. It has been the talk of the building over the last week or two. All we can do is leave it to the powers that be to make the right decisions. If they feel we are safe enough, that should be enough for us to be OK and in the right mind to go out and play.”
There have been all kinds of different reactions to this outbreak and to the response or lack of response from Westminister, funnily enough, the attacking midfielder picked out Jurgen Klopp’s words of wisdom from last week as advice that should be adhered to.
“I heard Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp’s response when he was asked to speak about the virus. I agree with what he said – that we should only listen to the advice of the experts and pass on their message. We need to leave it to the experts to make decisions.”
An empathetic Christie also sparred a thought for some of the clubs in Scotland that won’t be able to survive on no income for at least the next couple of weeks and possibly even months in Scotland.
“There are so many teams in Scotland that need the money coming through the gate every weekend to keep the books balanced. Again, it is not great. It doesn’t really help many teams in Scotland but you have to put the decision into perspective.”
Honestly I’m sick of hearing about it their all going on about how the government have been slow to react and this and that but their probably the same people that are going round shops emptying shelves without a thought for other people then sit on the net and complain that the government haven’t reacted quick enough well could you imagine what it would be like in the shops and stuff if the government had acted the way these people have said honestly ridonkulous anyway hopefully we’re fitba will be back very soon but doubt it very much hail hail ? ? ? ?
