Outspoken talkSPORT host Adrian Durham has urged the SPFL to demote Celtic to League TWO for bringing the Scottish game into 'disrepute' with their Dubai trip.

The shock jock presenter laid into the Hoops for their decision to head to UAE for their winter training camp on the same day they lost 1-0 to Rangers at Ibrox in their crunch Premiership clash.

Christopher Jullien then tested positive for Covid-19 and 13 players were forced into self-isolation, missing the Hibs game which followed and putting the league on a shoogly peg. And Durham believes the club should be punished for their decision to head abroad in the middle of a pandemic, claiming it was more 'insulting' to the nation than anything Rangers did back in 2012.

The Hoops also furloughed their under-18s squad following the trip, and Durham took aim at that, too.

Durham said: "So out of touch. And if you don’t think you’re not hearing correctly, it is correct. After a 200 grand trip to Dubai, for a bunch of losers to laugh in the face of a Scotland that has been decimated by Covid, Celtic are now getting the taxpayer to pay for their youth squad.

“In the meantime, Rangers have opened up Ibrox as a vaccination centre. Am I right in thinking Scotland has had enough of Celtic Football Club? In the whole scheme of things, what Celtic are doing now is far, far worse, far more insulting to the fans and to football and to the whole nation than anything Rangers did nine years ago.

“So wouldn’t it be just fitting, wouldn’t it be right, to demote Celtic to Scottish League Two after all this nonsense?

“Punish them for bringing the game into disrepute, showing contempt for the very people whose money keeps the club going in normal times.

“Who’s with me? Demote Celtic to Scottish League Two... It’s disgraceful behaviour from what’s meant to be a big football club."
