PETER LAWWELL has finally made a statement on the current state of play in Scottish football and fired back a warning to anybody who believes the season should be null and void.
The Celtic chief executive has made it clear that the club want to play their remaining fixtures. However, should that not be an option the Celtic exec made it clear the season ‘CANNOT’ be voided.
In a statement from the Celtic website, Peter Lawwell states:
With regard to the present domestic Premiership League situation, our strong preference is, of course, to complete all remaining matches. To date, we have had a magnificent campaign, undefeated in this calendar year, completing 30 league matches already to create a commanding lead and we are now on the cusp of winning our ninth successive title.
As many have already said, the season cannot be voided as the consequences of that are so severe. In the event that the matches cannot be completed, then the responsibility to find a fair and reasonable solution for the finalisation of all domestic leagues will be with the Scottish football governing bodies.
We hope that the governing bodies are able to provide some clarity to clubs and supporters as soon as possible on the way forward, although we appreciate that this is a hugely demanding time.
There’s so much uncertainty surrounding many things in the world and the football calendar pales in comparison to people’s health.
But the show just go on, and we cannot allow people with an agenda to write off a season that has almost been concluded.
Right now, the club have made the correct stance and we’ll see how this unfolds.
Peter making it clear Celtic won’t be rolling over to any club who believe they can preach sporting integrity with a straight face.
Michael ,peter makes no mention of integrity with a strait face, in his statement .in fact he addresses nothing
