Celtic confirmed a second player had tested positive for coronavirus on Monday after a much-criticised training camp in Dubai but manager Neil Lennon hit back angrily at what he labelled “hypocrisy” over the trip.
More dropped points realistically ended the Hoops’ hopes of winning a record 10th consecutive Scottish Premiership title as they are now 21 points behind Rangers, albeit with three games in hand.However, Lennon hit back ahead of his return to the dugout for another meeting with Livingston on Wednesday.“Another player has been deemed positive, it is someone who is self-isolating,” he said.
Pictures of Lennon and club captain Scott Brown drinking beer by a pool shortly after a 1-0 defeat to Rangers on January 2 also sparked fans’ anger in what has been a disastrous season on and off the field for Celtic. Lennon also addressed comments made by former Celtic striker Andy Walker who, speaking in his role as a pundit, criticised the club for “dismal governance” over the trip, which he labelled “a jolly”.
