Starting on Boxing day there will only be 500 spectators allowed at any football game in Scotland for a period of up to three weeks it has been announced.

Nicola Sturgeon laid out the new restrictions for sport among other new restrictions put on our lives with the new wave of the pandemic in full swing.

Celtic and Scottish football will have to go essentially behind closed doors until further notice.

The winter break is just around the corner, scheduled to start on January 2. It would be sensible for all parties to get together and bring that break forward to Boxing day and allow games the best chance to have spectators in January.

The new restrictions mean, as of now, if the Glasgow Derby goes ahead on its planned date, there will only be 500 supporters in the ground. That would be a shocker for Celtic and supporters who want to get behind their team as they look to chase down the SPFL title.

The St Mirren game on Wednesday will go ahead as scheduled with fans.

    If folk cant be bothered sticking to basic requirements then they cant complain if govt takes action just as they are doing all around Europe
