It looks like it could be Monday before Celtic are Champions.
The SPFL rules state that the board must make the decision official and the board don’t meet until Monday.
Good things happen to people who wait. ðŸ€.

If it's safe for the Premier league to start back in June then there is no reason why the SPFL can't.
{Ed007's Note - You do know that the Scottish, Welsh and even NI governments are giving the opposite advice to the Westminster government don't you?
The decisions being taken in England are for England and England only.}

Lol, of course mateðŸ‘.
{Ed007's Note - The SPFL need to do what the Scottish government tells them.}

The point is it isn’t safe to start back. Thank God for devolution and here’s to independence.

I know the decision lies with the Scottish government and the SPFL will have to do as their told. I just don't think we should be in a rush to call the league. Wait until at least the next review of the lockdown.
{Ed007's Note - When's that due because UEFA have a 25th of May deadline for leagues to outline their plans going forward?}

Also reports today suggesting Sky would not have tolerated this season finishing beyond August 1st.
The date the new bumper 5 year Sky deal starts.
Basically the SPFL’s hands were tied.

If Boris and his uncle Donald say it’s safe I suppose it must be Ed? As long as ye ‘stay alert’ and watch oot fur the wee virus coming.

I'm off work on Monday so that would suit me fine. Hopefully Broony will walk onto the centre of the pitch at Paradise and raise the trophy to the cameras. HH.

We have already outlined our plans. We voted for the league to be called as is if the season can't be finished. Surely we have told UEFA that the same as the Premier League have told them they intend to finish their season?
{Ed007's Note - No, we've told UEFA we will follow what the Scottish government tells us, the EPL is nothing to do with Scotland or the SPFL.}

there will be no difference on social distancing when the new season is to be started than there will be at the end of this month.
16 May 2020 10:52:11
Is that not why we haven't called the Premiership yet?
16 May 2020 11:15:28
It definitely looks like it will be called on Monday but like I say the same social distancing rules don't look like they will change for a long period of time so the plans that will be made for the new season to be started could be put in place for this season to end in my opinion.
