Many Celtic fans have been discussing a tweet that journalist Raman Bhardwaj recently posted on social media.
Bhardwaj’s tweet saw him talk about Boli Bolingoli and his breach of quarantine rules. The left-back had taken a secret holiday to Spain and had failed to self-isolate on returning. Bhardwaj revealed in his tweet that as a result, ‘crunch talks’ will be held between the Scottish government and Scottish football authorities. The talks were scheduled to be held on Tuesday morning.
The tweet from the journalist caught the attention of some Celtic fans who flocked to the news update. They had a negative opinion about what Bolingoli has done. A couple of fans believe that the defender should be moved on.
This is an absolute joke, so because of one players breach.. the full of scottish football should suffer? He tested negative twice, The man knows he done wrong. Let celtic deal with him in the way it should be.

Should Celtic sell Bolingoli because of this act?
Absolutely!
Not at all!
I doubt it they will cancel the season.Millions of pounds spent by fans buying seasons tickets and TV millions..It could be the end for some clubs ..

Bolingoli is a disgrace and must be shown the door. He is directly putting the football season at risk. Couldn’t blame Sturgeon for coming down hard this time but I feel the clubs should be given one final chance before shutting the door. Last legs. Public health before football. https://t.co/3eDsP5IAmJ

The left-back didn’t play for the Hoops in the first game of the 2020/21 season against Hamilton Academical, but he played three minutes of Celtic’s 1-1 draw against Kilmarnock on Sunday (as per Transfermarkt).
Bhardwaj’s tweet left some other Celtic fans fuming about the situation as well. They made their opinion very clear.
Can’t put into words how raging I am at bolingoli and Griffith’s , idiots https://t.co/qE480g62Gq

He’s a silly silly bhoy, who will get punished for the breach but let’s not forget it wasn’t only him alone who broke rules, Aberdeen and Rangers are in this too. #Celtic https://t.co/tx9whxRPqt

While Bolingoli has tested negative twice, disobeying quarantine rules isn’t a good thing to do at all especially if he took a secret trip to another country. Leigh Griffiths has already been reminded of his responsibilities after photos of him hosting a party emerged on social media. This comes after multiple Aberdeen players tested positive last week.
So the players should take responsibility for this situation or this can have an impact on the Premiership season. It will be interesting to see what Celtic do with Bolingoli now.
