Either St Johnstone and Hamilton have changing rooms which make physical distancing possible or they don't . 5 minutes with a measuring tape will tell you if Lennon's being truthful or not.
Why has lennon not been sacked yet

I'm sure any of the managers who share lenny's and McInness' concerns could have spoken up . Fair play to McInness for being the only one who did . Saying anything in support of celtic is not very welcome in the media .

True but football clubs are businesses first and foremost and to not have had football in any form would be catastrophic, but, I think in NL's case it was the double standards he felt and in McInness case he may just now feel this is not fucking worth it the hassle this is causing, too late now, the cats out the bag, travel arrangements will be fun for the smaller clubs, 3 to a bus and one to a car, no carpooling.

I don't know if McInness thought that through before speaking out . Still , if the league has to be null and voided because travel and changing room protocols become impractical , we can at least get a laugh at the Sevco meltdown .

........................"players we already scouted" unfortunately Gary there is a major part of the problem. Our scouts appear to be blind.
It’s being suggested it might be worthwhile having a serious look at the agent(s) we deal with and how much money allegedly changes hand between the parties.....
How long does it take to do a review?.
Remember it’s Celtic. They take ages to do anything for the good of the club.
It takes them ages to sign players because they’re looking for the cheapest options. The headlines are always that Celtic are interested in a player, or they’re keeping an eye on a player. But they take that long until the player signs for another club. The only time that this board move fast is when they’re wanting your money for season tickets. They are a disgrace to Celtic football club. How many more games are we to lose before some action is done. Everybody could see in September/October that it wasn’t working this season. Get the finger out and get something done NOW.

Indeed!
But does anyone think that anyone in authority will put this to the test?

I think Chris Sutton sums it up perfectly when he explains why - although he personally would have quit - you can't leave the decision to Neil Lennon to walk away from the manager's position:
“Whether you feel he could save it or think he is doing an awful job and it’s beyond him, you cannot say he is not committed to the club. He’d have to be dragged kicking and screaming out of there. You can’t employ a fighter who never gives up and then expect him to stop fighting and give up.
It’s why it’s not down to him. This is not a decision for Neil anymore. This is a decision for the hierarchy. This is their problematic situation to solve. It’s not down to Neil. It is for those at the top.
Neil has made mistakes this season. Plenty of them. But if he fails, it won’t be for lack of effort or lack of pride.”
This is exactly why Lawwell needs to earn his huge salary and make the difficult decision that no manager ever likes having to do.
In my opinion it is a similar situation with Scott Brown - many fans said to trust him as he knows when he won't be able to perform any more and will do the right thing. But IMO he won't - this is a player who has overcome adversity many times when he was repeatedly told he wasn't good enough, so why do we expect him to believe that he won't win this battle? Eventually age catches up with everyone and there comes a time when you won't win that next fight and more often than not someone else has to make that decision for you. But because Lenny always believed he was removed from the Celtic team too early he has transposed this onto Broony and he wouldn't make the difficult decision to play him selectively (and thereby actually extending his playing career with a very important bit-part leadership role) until he was forced into it by the far superior display by the young replacement he finally relented in giving a chance to.

Get Lennon out now. What’s the use of waiting till May. Say Lennon doesn’t leave until May. This board will THEN start looking for a new manager. Then won’t get him in until July. Then he’ll get his back room staff in, new players etc. Then we’ll be playing catch-up at the start of the season. That’s how this board works.
Lennon Kennedy out now.
Lennon Kennedy out now.
