Celtic's entire squad may still have to self-isolate due to fresh Dubai travel rules.

The Hoops' UAE training camp came under further focus last night when the Scottish Government removed Dubai from the exemption list for quarantine.

Furthermore, travellers who returned from Dubai since January 3 have been ordered to self-isolate for 10 days.

It was originally understood that Celtic were exempt from such measures due to their elite sport status.

Speaking to BBC Radio Scotland’s Off The Ball programme on Saturday, national clinical director Jason Leitch explained: “Professional sport people can go on winter training camps – that is allowed. They’re not allowed to just go on a holiday, like the rest of us aren’t.

“That exemption if they stay within their bubble means they don’t have to quarantine when they come back.

“The United Arab Emirates on Friday had 5,055 new cases – nearly double the Scottish numbers of cases. There is a lot of Covid in Dubai.

“The club, when they’re in Dubai, have to follow the rules. They have to distance. They are allowed to be there, to be clear.”

Reports this morning however have revealed that Holyrood officials are still investigating the trip and a decision will be made at lunch time on whether the Hoops have to qurantine.

Neil Lennon's side are due to take on Hibs in the Scottish Premiership tonight, but it remains uncertain whether the fixture will be played.

Celtic have confirmed that one player has tested positive for coronavirus in the wake of their controversial trip to Dubai.

The unnamed player will have to self-isolate but there could potentially be further ramifications ahead of Monday’s Scottish Premiership clash with Hibernian.

A Scottish Government statement on Sunday night read: “We are aware there has been a positive case of coronavirus within Celtic FC.

“Scottish Government clinicians and the GGC (Greater Glasgow and Clyde) Health Protection Team are in contact with Celtic providing advice on next steps.”
