Fans of Rangers have been reacting to a post on Twitter, which relays a report that contains comments made by Arthur Numan on the resolution of the Scottish Premiership season.
In comments made to The Sunday Post, the former Rangers player called for Scotland to follow Holland’s lead and end the season as things currently stand, stating: “I know the situation in Scotland isn’t as clear-cut as in Holland, but maybe they should follow the Dutch lead.”
The Dutch “lead” that Numan suggests Scottish football follow saw Ajax – who led the Eredivisie on goal difference – awarded Champions League football for the 2020/21 season, but not the title.
In reaction to his comments, which were relayed by the Daily Record Sport Twitter account, fans of the club have flocked to have their say on the matter, with many agreeing with Numan’s remarks, claiming that it is the only fair way to end the season if the remaining fixtures cannot be fulfilled.
Do you think the Scottish Premiership season should be made null and void?

Liverpool fans will be gutted more that anyone after 30 years but it’s the sensible option for all leagues in my opinion.

What do we think?
While many fans appear to agree with the comments made by their former player, recent reports in the Daily Mail state that the Dutch league could, in fact, reverse its decision to end its season prematurely, as many Dutch clubs within the league are threatening legal action.
As such, it would appear that there is no easy answer to how leagues should end their seasons amid the current viral outbreak, however, it is clear that many Rangers fans believe that the Scottish Premiership season should be declared null and void.
