Really sad to see.
The rail lines north of Perth have needed significant investment for a long time now, but I'm not sure what you could have done to prevent something like that.

Maybe CD might go with 3 up front to try to push them into long ball rather than playing through us. Can't see that working, their game time vs ours this year will be a big factor and going with a formation we've only used competitively for 45 minutes would be a bit risky. Also agree that 2 of our players up against a strong midfield with a man up is a tough gig. Even if one of them is Ali McCann. Tanto up front trying to get in behind makes sense if we have 3 up top given that May and Hendry both sit a wee bit deep. Again, high risk for the lad's first game. Either way looking forward to the game.
Interested to see if the absence of a crowd makes any difference when one of the 'big teams' are at home.
We're 2 games in so overdue a Morelos sending off. Hopefully he gets told any moves he's looking for have fallen through just before kick-off.
I actually think you might see a 2 man midfield from Rangers tonight, Jack and Kamara.
If it's anything like Saturday, Aribo will be so far up that it'll be a front four. Judging from last nights training video, that's what we were practicing yesterday.

Vicarious liability from what I recall is that the employer can be held liable for the negligent actions of their employees if the action was carried out in the course of their employment OR can be connected to what an employee is authorised to do by the employer
If those players weren’t authorised to be out together or given explicit instruction by the club that they hadn’t to go out then that could be seen as negligence. Where it could get interesting is if one of those players has transmitted Covid, could Aberdeen then become liable to any claims for financial losses by an individual/s due to an Aberdeen player breaking club rules and transmitting the virus?
You will almost certainly never be able to prove this.

Seems there’s been some more racist abuse aimed towards Morelos online.
I got some stick for sharing the actual offensive message last time so I’ll let others search for it themselves should they wish to do so.
Why would someone downvote this?

Rangers earned as many UEFA coefficient points this season as Liverpool and Borussia Dortmund (18.00), and more than Real Madrid (17.00). Celtic (16.50) were not far behind them.
Quite a good stat that eh.

I think it will be good to be the chaser for a change,it will keep Celtic focused and motivated instead of the normal procession to the holy grail.
I love that Celtic fans call this title the Holy Grail. It's very fitting when you consider that nobody has ever found it and if they did, it almost certainly wouldn't be valid.

PAC-12 cancels the season.
If the Big 12 follows suit, so will the SEC and college football will be completely done.

Did the Rangers TV stream work well for this game?
Worked perfectly.

The risk is that there's a more stringent shutdown that puts the Celtic-KR tie in peril...
I think something else would have to come out between now and then to put that tie at risk.
And if it did, I can't help but feel that European football would be the least of Celtic's concerns.

Wasn't a great game but thought Hibs looked alright.

Shagger announced as part of the RTV lineup for tomorrow, so looks like it's going to be McLaughlin again.

I'd not read much into that, though. St Mirren decided to play the game entirely without a midfield - thus a 40 yard gap between Obika and the rest of the team so, apart from about 3 mins at the start of the 2nd half, we were under no pressure whatsoever.
True, but that won't be an unfamiliar scenario for us this season. It's good we're finding a way of beating it.

Ross County.
The virus has been all but eliminated in the Highlands, so they're the most likely to be relaxed about it.
The circumstances?
Ross Laidlaw does something absolutely f*cking daft.

Was interesting to read Football Stewart's review of the St Mirren, particularly with regards to the Jackamara axis.
Wasn't something I noticed watching the game all that much, but looks as if it did work a lot better.

Having had time to think about this away from my initial knee-heartsfan, sorry, knee-jerk reaction that the “Aberdeen 8” need to be hung, drawn and quartered, I know have the following to offer.
Major league sports in the US are either being played in a “bubble” (NBA/NHL/MLS) or having the exact same issues as football here (MLB).
Talk is now about delaying the NFL until spring. This after allowing players to make a personal decision on whether or not to play this season and accept a reduced pay.
College sports (big, big business, often outsell the pros.) are slowly all coming round to the idea of delayed/cancelled seasons.
It’s time the SPFL and clubs take it on the chin and realise it’s time to either delay the season for several weeks/months or just abandon it now and plan for a “mini league” starting in February (or sometime).
I accept that, financially, this will likely cause severe hardship for clubs and probably result in some going to the wall, but I really can’t see a workable way to keep the season going short of:-
Teams will be “sequestered” at a “central hub” and games played at 2 or 3 fixed locations that are kept quarantined. Won’t need to be big stadia with no support present so they could, for example, use an existing sport complex/training ground/university.IMO, the problem with US Sports is that the virus is not under control at all in US society at large, so the players that aren't living inside a bubble are significantly more likely to be infected.
I think the current model is perfectly sustainable unless there is a rise in cases in Scotland, or the players continue to break the guidelines.

I thought as much during the break - but now I'm convinced. There is absolutely zero chance of us completing this season.
If the schedule wasn't tight up against the Euros I'd have a bit more faith.
It's really hard to predict anything about this season now.

Not one person in the Celtic squad has Covid or is suspected of having Covid.
Celtic have been sent to bed without their dinner because that's the standard of discourse in Scottish public life.
I won't pretend to be an expert on this, but my understanding is that it can take up to 2 weeks for coronavirus to manifest itself in such a way that it becomes a) transmittable and b) detectable by a test.
The only thing we know for sure is that he didn't give it to Killie players on Sunday.

Aberdeen & Celtic haven't been quarantined, they've been punished. They need to prove their players are on task.
The Scottish Government were explicit that they leave the discipline side of things to the SPFL/SFA.
If the Scottish Government have postponed the games (which they have), then it's been done on public health grounds.

No she didn't, She said it's upto the SPFL or SFA to call the games off.
The games are off until Doncaster makes a proposal for keeping them on that the Government agrees to. That's how it works in practice.
There's a call this afternoon (may already have happened) between Doncaster, Maxwell and ScotGov where Doncaster will be asking to keep the rest of the fixtures on.

I could see them being pulled up/outed for indiscretions in the recent past but no way any of them now would be so stupid to do anything from now onwards.
Would they?
It's hard to know because we don't know the restrictions / protocol / guidelines that are agreed between ScotGov and the SPFL.
We've no idea what constitutes a breach of these outside of the obvious.

If games are postponed, it's not a great start to our new beginning with SKY.

If there is a pause that exceeds 6 days, then it appears Celtic will have to forfeit their European tie.

Can the Old firm stranglehold be broken?

I know a couple of lads from Newry who are bang into it.
But you're right ultimately, no one outside of Scotland and NI cares. England, Wales and the Republic are all full of folk who watch the EPL.
