He thinks he is so articulate and clever too. If he only listened back to what he says... on second thoughts, that wouldn't work because he wouldn't understand!

Declaring the league null and void shouldn't be entertained in the slightest and Celtic should be putting that message out there as forcibly as possible right now that they will simply not stand for that.
If Budge can go down the legal route over the prospect of Hearts being relegated if the league is declared as it stands then Celtic are equally as justified to take the same legal route if anyone tries to push for the league to be declared null and void. The repercussions from a null and void declaration could pose huge financial cost to Celtic with regards to reimbursement of season ticket monies etc. in the same way that Hearts will be hit will financial costs due to relegation. So if it's a good enough reason for Budge to go down the legal route then it's sure as shit a good enough reason for Celtic to do the same.
There are solutions to this but the usual suspects are pretending not to see them for utterly deceitful and dishonourable reasons. It's 8 match days that we could easily arrange to play later in the year by delaying the start of the new season.
Due to THIS unscheduled break in the current season there is NO need for a winter break during the new season and given there will undoubtedly still be restrictions on international travel extending into next year, due to different countries being at different stages of the coronavirus outbreak, then it's unlikely international fixtures will go ahead as planned which frees up fixture slots that can be used for domestic competitions to offset the delay. And all this is before we even consider the option of looking at possible league and cup competition reconstruction for next season.
This season CAN and SHOULD be concluded, that way NOBODY can question the legitimacy on the grounds of 'sporting integrity' of who's league champions, who gets relegated and who qualifies for what European competitions when they finally resume.
This null and void shit needs knocked on the head NOW by Celtic before any grubby wee deals are done by grubby wee men for their own grubby wee ends! We've had enough of this shit over the last 10 years, no more!
Let's give both Budge and the Sevvies the 'sporting integrity' they're calling for and end once and for all their desperate attempts to stave off relegation and seeing Celtic crowned legitimate champions for the 9th time in a row!

The proviso for the klan is that the games are played in front of crowds, not behind closed doors. In the interest of the health and wellbeing of the country, that just can't happen and they know it!

The games just need to be played and if that means they have to be played behind closed doors to uphold the 'sporting integrity' demands of both the Sevvies and Budge then that's just the way it has to be and they will jut have to accept that. otherwise they'll be shown up for the desperate chancers they are!
Neither of these clubs can be allowed to hold the rest of the game to ransom by making illegitimate and unreasonable demands! They want the games played? Fair enough so do we! Any other demands they make on top of that should be treated with the contempt they deserve!
Fixtures fulfilled = sporting integrity.

I'm in no way saying we ignore everything that's going on Kelly, far from it mate of course we shouldn't!
To be perfectly honest football is is coming a distant 2nd for all of us just now given the dire situation we find ourselves in but when the football does eventually resume then we should make the time to get these games played before the new season resumes, that way there are no question marks hanging over either integrity or legitimacy.

Normal life is cancelled. I've cancelled a teaching trip in San Diego that starts in September!! The organiser tells me that despite tickets selling like hotcakes last week that now absolutely no one is signing up to sit in a crowded room for an event in 6 months time. Football is not even on the first page of priorities for most people. Events with more than 500 people are not going to happen. International travel is unlikely. This will be the biggest economic depression since the Great Depression. Most football teams in Scotland will have to make their staff redundant and many will fold. Air NZ is going to lay off 1/3 of its staff and the other airlines here will be similar. Unemployment will soar around the world. The stock market is plummeting. There has been nothing like this in our lifetimes.

What sevco season ticket renewal day?April 1st!
What would happen if Covid19 killed off many British football clubs and brought about massive reconstruction of football in Britain. What if the Premier League lost several teams and offered Celtic a place. We'd lose the chance to make it 10IAR but would you take it if offered?

Interesting scenario, Doc, and certainly one that takes a bit more shape and form the longer that this event continues to develop.
The likelihood is that the elite clubs will take the opportunity to cite breach with UEFA and form their own breakaway competition. Celtic are well placed to make a move in any and all outcomes due to their commercial draw, but it would still be feasible that another incarnation of Celtic can play domestically. After all - sevco have been doing the same thing for almost 8-years now.
