9 in a row either way on or off the park, were the finest team in Scotland , 13 points clear at the top and already beat the 2nd place runner up twice this season easy peasy.

In Lennon’s in-house interview on the club website, the Hoops boss said that ‘everyone at the club’ wants to finish the season by playing games. He also said that the first half of the season was ‘superb’.
What do we think?
One can see why Celtic would be eager for the season to resume, considering the club is 13 points clear at the top of the table. Winning the title would see them edge closer to winning a historic 10th title in a row next season.
However, the pandemic has made it unsafe for games to be played. In that sense, football should return only when it is completely safe.
