Presumably because there needs to be a full investigation and the club need to be certain of their legal position regarding his contract etc.

You'd hope his agent has been told to find him a new club in the very least.

Additionally, what do we do if one of the other players fcuks up? Precedent needs to be considered. Say Eddy or Christie breach the rules next week. Is it in the club's interests to terminate their contract too?

There is a cost associated with rash decisions, im sure its on the cards but getting all your legal ducks in a line would take a bit of time

Anything less than a dismissal is unacceptable.

They can test all they want but the virus can still develop up to 14 days.

He's well and truely f*cked us.

The isolation horse has bolted. He’s been in contact with both Celtic and killie squads.

They’ll be trying to convince authorities that isolation is not required in this scenario by testing everyone and hoping all are negative.

Difference with Aberdeen is that they had 2 confirmed Covid tests and the other players were considered close contacts of a confirmed case - so if all Celtic and killie tests are negative there hopefully could be scope for isolation not being required

Absolute mess

What an absolute clown, seriously, in what right mind would you think a) that its OK, b) not tell anyone and c) think on one would find out. Poor judgement and given his on field performances, not one that surprises me

What's going on lads fill me in

Bolingoli decided it'd be a good idea to break the rules and head off to Spain last week with out informing the club nor self-isolating for 14 days upon his return.

Lenny was unaware of what the idiot did when he gave him game time on Sunday. Was surprised he brought him on at the time. He's a donkey.

I really hope the consequences for this are not too severe for Celtic. It could cost us points in the league or have the plugged pulled altogether. Also Champions League participation is in jeopardy too now if we're ordered not to field a team for any length of time.

The guy is hopeless - get him to fcuk out of the club.

'The Scottish football season is in serious jeopardy of being called to a halt after Boli Bolingoli broke strict quarantine rules and travelled to Spain before playing against Kilmarnock.

The Celtic defender did not tell anyone at the club of his trip and now chiefs are furious at the player for risking the campaign and the safety of his teammates, coaching staff and opposition. Bolingoli breached the rules put in place by the Scots government where anyone travelling from Spain should self-isolate for two weeks.

Last night a Scottish government spokesperson confirmed the blunder could force a pause in the Premiership season after only two matches. "The Scottish Government is aware of reports of a Celtic FC player having broken quarantine rules last week," the spokesman said. "We are currently in discussion with the club and football governing bodies to establish the facts. '

I think there’s a real chance that the European qualifier isn't allowed go ahead.

Won’t be deferred either - just out.

Quite flat today

It is always a dreadful game to watch on that plastic pitch but I agree even allowing for that we were very flat and slow in the final third on Sunday.

Brutal stuff. Out of ideas v Killie. Just glad it's early season but pre-season like performances aren't going to win the league.

Credit to Killie, had the measure of us all the way. Stiffle our full backs and we're in a bit of trouble.

Onwards and upwards hopefully.

Toothless display so far today, struggling to create any decent chances.

Today’s line up v Killie.

No big surprises, Barkas makes his debut between the sticks.
Rogic and Johnston carrying knocks but no room for Luca Connell in the squad. Karamoko makes the bench - it’s well documented how promising he is, 17 now so we should start seeing more of him.

I'd love to see a bit more of Dembele this year, as bizarre as it sounds though, a move abroad on loan might work for him, hes still a bit of growing to do. I seen him 3 years ago at the hibernia Cup and he was incredible, ive seen some players at that age through the years but he was easily the best at that age. A game like today might suit him tbh, but he's a huge hype behind him and I'm happy the club haven't chucked him in yet. Developing him well so far

More Griffiths drama.
Hosted a birthday party for his girlfriend - looks like a breach of Covid restrictions (someone with a better idea of Scottish restrictions might correct me)
After the Aberdeen fiasco he should have more sense.

The guys a talent but at what stage do you draw the line.

I'd love to through Bayo out on loan to another SPL side, might work out but not sold on that. Klimala looks decent and improving but Lee has to be out the door at this stage. Someone will take a chance on Griffiths but he's had a few chances now with Celtic.

I just can't see much being spent this summer particularly until after qualifiers for champions league and seeing how we go there

Griffiths looked very good when he came off the bench in the last pre-season friendly and was praised by Lennon for knuckling down so I would not write him off just yet at Celtic. Hopefully he is on the bench this weekend and gets on against Kilmarnock as we really need 3 proven strikers and right now we only have Edouard. Klimala shows promise but is far from proven so it would be massive if we got a fit and firing Griffiths back.

I’d agree, fletcher looks to be a reaction to the fact griffiths can’t be relied on. Then we have Kilmala who is improving and bayo who’s a dud.
