Hibernian boss Jack Ross has said he has no concerns when it comes to facing Celtic after the clubs recent trip to Dubai ahead of the fixture at Parkhead on Monday evening.
As quoted by the Glasgow Times, Ross was asked if he was in any way worried about facing Neil Lennon’s side due to the possible risks that come with travelling to and from the UAE in the last week and also gave his thoughts on the whole situation.
When asked if he had any concerns about facing Celtic, he replied: “No, none at all.
“I would strongly disagree in terms of how respectful we’ve been of, first of all, the virus, and second of all the parameters we have to work within.
“I don’t think you spend as much money as we have as a club, on testing and satisfying the protocols, dealing with some of the other challenges that aren’t well documented, without taking it seriously.
“I can only speak for one club but we’ve been hugely respectful of the opportunity we’ve been given to get back to work and maintain that through the six or seven months we’ve been back.
“I have to say this. I’m not offering an opinion on Celtic being there or not. But what I’m saying is I don’t think they were the only ones there.
“Over the last few months, there have been a lot of people left this country and come back into this country. Whether you want to isolate it as football, that’s the only thing I would say.
“I’m sure, if you asked everyone on this call, that they’d know someone who has ventured overseas. I’m quite sure of that.”
With all the social distancing and testing precautions that the club will have to talk in order to travel and currently in their day to day life, I don’t think there would be much concern for Hibs.
Of course, with the world, we live in right now there are a lot of risks with travelling and felt like a bit of a silly decision from Celtic.
However, the testing protocols will allow this to remain safe to make sure that both players on different sides are safe.
