Wonder what kind of punishment they’ll dish.

better not be points deduction.

Cannot see how they can find the actual clubs at fault tbf as it was 100% down to the players.

not that they will give two shites about fairness 

Do you seriously think the football authorities in this country would deduct points off Celtic?

EDIT - some Tim sympathiser -1’d that ?

Showing yourself up

Again

Inferiority complexes aren't attractive to anyone, especially females 

Do YOU think the SFA would deduct points off them?

Really?

Living in that shitehole of Rutherglen, you of all people know fine well that the Glasgow clubs, in this season of all seasons, would never get points taken off them.

Contrary cunt 

And if I was female, I’d never shag you, you ugly, freak chinned wanker. ?

Nae sure why that link didn’t work:

 

Aberdeen and Celtic have been fined £30,000 by the SPFL after players from both clubs breached Covid-19 rules.

Eight Aberdeen players visited a bar, where two contracted the virus, leading to the postponement of three Scottish Premiership matches.

Celtic had two games delayed when Boli Bolingoli went to Spain, and played against Kilmarnock without entering quarantine on his return.

The clubs are required to pay £8,000 to the SPFL Trust.

The remaining £22,000 each will only be due to the league's charitable arm if there are further breaches by the clubs before the end of the season.

In a statement, the SPFL said both clubs "offered substantial evidence in mitigation" after they were charged separately for their players' actions.

A spokesman added that both "had gone to enormous lengths to ensure that their players adhered to all relevant requirements and protocols relating to Covid-19" which is why the majority of the fine is suspended.

Aberdeen chairman Dave Cormack said the punishment is a "fair outcome".

"They have taken into account the measures we have since put in place to reinforce these with all our staff and players," he added. "The whole regrettable incident is now well and truly behind us."

The 'Aberdeen eight' were given a suspended three-game ban last month by the Scottish FA for their actions while Celtic's Bolingoli, who has since moved to Istanbul Basaksehir on loan, was banned for three matches with a further two suspended.

Considering folk were banding about ridiculous shouts of forfeiting matches and 8 game bans it's quite laughable it ended up being an £8k fine in total. We probably fined the players internally 2,3 or 4 times that. 

Also, it's a charity contribution and we'll probably just factor that in to our charity contributions/work for the remainder of the year so it's ended up being no punishment whatsoever.
