Celtic will be without at least three key players for this weekend's visit of rivals to Rangers in the Scottish Premiership.

Odsonne Edouard caught Covid-19 on international duty with France under-21s and Nir Bitton contracted the virus with Israel.

Ryan Christie, meanwhile, will miss the game after being in 'close contact' with Stuart Armstrong who had the virus as he now has to self-isolate. Hatem Abd Elhamed is isolating, too, as a precaution at this time.

And Celtic have requested an answer from the government regarding some of the more serious implications around the issues.

But would you be against players heading on international duty to prevent a spread? Would it stop anything like this happening in the future?
