    Door has been reopened for teams to game the system as was the case by St. Mirren.

    Shows what I know!

    20k to have a roll at a rearranged fixture when you have squad problems is a bargain which will no doubt be taken up multiple times In the weeks ahead.

    Dundee United - less so Celtic as they'll be second regardless - must be raging.

    A shocking decision which will have repercussions in future.

    Saw that coming a mile off. While I'd much prefer to gain points from winning games that are actually played, this decision makes a complete mockery of the rules put in place to prevent the spread of C-19 within clubs and seriously jeopardises the credibility of the games governing bodies, yet again.

    I'm just surprised that anyone is actually surprised here. The Scottish Football's governing bodies have long proved that they are hugely shambolic and inconsistent in their decision making.

    It's a hard one to take for sure but we'll just need to suck it up and hopefully do the business on the park once the games are played.

    Yes we will have to suck it up, but it isn’t right. What happens if Kilmarnock or St. MIrren where to beat another club into the top six or Europe by a point where in fact they should be at least three points worse off. Thus allowing teams to gain an advantage not only financially but at the cost of other teams by flouting the rules. What happens if we can’t play the rearranged fixtures with a full team due to covid19. Will we then be forced to play the games with youngsters, something Kilmarnock or St. MIrren were never asked to do. More than likely to happen if we start to run out of dates for the games to be arranged etc

    If we're fighting relegation we will never play with kids, we will cock up the seating at dinner and ask for a postponement.

    I meant if football hierarchy order a game is to be played whilst we are hit with a Covid outbreak to our first team squad, we would have no option butto play youngsters

    Youngsters afaik are not being regularly tested as the youth league isn't on, I don't think they're eligible.
