SPFL CHARGE HOOPS, HIBS CHIEF CALLS FOR POINTS DEDUCTION, BROONY BLASTS BOLI.
In August 2020, following two straight losses in 20 heartbreaking days, CELTIC’S attempt to win a historic tenth
consecutive title while making a splash in the Champions League was derailed.
In just the second game of the new campaign, a miserable draw at Kilmarnock in which Boli Bolingoli made a cameo
appearance, the first points were conceded.
Nobody at the club knew that the Belgian defender had disobeyed the quarantine regulations upon his arrival and
had enjoyed an unauthorized vacation in dangerous Spain just a few days prior.
In the third installment of CQN’s EXCLUSIVE series, we take a look back at a trying time early in the season that had
severe and lasting effects for Celtic.
Neil Leonard has expressed his disappointment that the SPFL has charged Celtic in the Boli Bolingoli controversy.
The nine-time winners are in the dock for violating coronavirus safety regulations.
After Hoops’ Belgian defender Boli Bolingoli took a covert journey to Spain and returned, disregarding the 14-day
self-isolation, to reunite with his teammates ahead of Rugby Park’s match against Kilmarnock, the Hampden officials are ready to act.
Before Celtic learned of the bumbling left-back’s covert trip to Marbella, he filled in for Greg Taylor for the final nine minutes of the 1-1 draw.
Lennon emphasized that the team had taken all reasonable steps to prioritize safety, including installing equipment
and safeguards at the training facility and stadium.
“I’m disappointed for the club,” the Irishman stated. They, in my opinion, have been instrumental in starting the game.
However, we held ourselves accountable last week and decided to accept that, move on, and accept responsibility.
We do not want any mishaps, if you can call them that, or the game to shut down once more.
“It’s regrettable in our opinion, as well as the players’ and staff’s, in my capacity as manager. Along with the other
members of the club, we have put in a ton of effort and are currently working hard to raise the bar.
The Celtic manager stated that Bolingoli’s disciplinary case against the club had “no conclusion” as of yet.
