The Republic of Ireland FA have in the last few minutes released a statement saying ANOTHER person in the camp has tested positive for the virus and must now self-isolate along with FOUR others who have been in close contact.
There’s no word on what members of the squad will have to isolate with the statement not naming anyone.
This is a huge concern for Celtic and their support – if Shane Duffy is among the members to self isolate he would become yet another first team player ruled out of the Glasgow Derby.

We’re awaiting confirmation of the players involved and we’ll bring you an update as soon as we have it. Another time to highlight internationals are causing havoc. The positive tests are racking up across Europa. It’s reckless to continue playing international football at this time.
