Do 75% of games have to played before the league can be called? I think even the most optimistic Celtic fan would admit the league is over and i don't think we can really argue otherwise however im sure i read that 75% of games have to be played before it can be called and the Sevconian tears would be great to see if it did happen lol.

75% is only mentioned because that’s when the league was called last season.
The SPFL don’t have any power to call the leagues at any time.
They are only a committee for the clubs themselves.
If the leagues do get stopped, it will go to a vote similar to last season.
Each of the 4 leagues would need 75% of the clubs to vote Yes for the league standings to remain the same.
I think there will need to be a compromise to allow the Premiership and the Championship leagues to be called early because I don’t think they will get enough Yes votes form the lower league clubs who’ve only played 8 league games this season.
That compromise would be to allow the 2 lower leagues to start back up in a few months and play through May and June to finish off their seasons because those lower leagues don’t need to release players for the Euros.
If the leagues do get stopped they will need to come up with a better plan to award Sevco the title because I can’t see them getting 75% from all 4 divisions.

If we are honest if the league has to finish Sevco would deserve to win it this year But it would be one of the funniest things ever if they null and void it.

Your right Tony they do deserve it this season and Celtic deserved it last season.
And that’s why I don’t think null and void will happen.
But the SPFL might need to move the goalposts and come up with a different plan or compromise because 75% from all divisions is a big ask.

They deserve nothing. If the league is called and it’s not mathematically impossible concede nothing. Null and void.

Null and void would only drag Scottish football deeper into the mire and bankrupt a few clubs, which effects every team
The league does deserve to go to the south.

If they won a raffle I’d take their ticket.

Exactly JFP. When it's mathematical impossible so be it. Football stopped last season without C.V. call offs, isolating players, positive tests, postponments rule breaking etc.

Is this where we have sunk too, wishing for null and void. We have been a shambles this season.
It wasnt mathematically impossible last season when we done 9 and felt 10 was a formality.
Time to forget 10 and get our club back to where it belongs next season with the best fans in the world cheering them on HH.
22 Jan 2021 19:23:11
Pud it’s just simply too dangerous to continue. I’m sure whichever clubs may be disappointed in the respective leagues and none more so than us if it’s not mathematically impossible will accept that with a stoic stiff upper lip in true British fashion. Null and Void.

All I read is we was handed the league title in a zoom conference call. If they call the league surely they won't want such a "tainted" title handed to them in similar circumstances right? Knowing their logic ours will still be tainted and theirs would be legit. As much as I hate them I'm not bitter to admit they deserve it if it is called early just the same as we deserved it last season. Having said that it would be hilarious if it did get voided it would be a smashing 2nd prize for not getting the 10 😂.

It's embarrassing hoping for Null and void. They've won the title already and have been by some distance the best team in the league this year.
23 Jan 2021 01:23:06
Jfp if they won a raffle id want proof they'd paid for a ticket.
23 Jan 2021 07:17:10
Not only embarrassing hoping for null and void but IMO immoral, it’s akin to hoping the C.V. continues or worsens
Why, To save face because we couldn’t do it on the football park under the same conditions as everyone else
Not a class act and degrades public opinion of this club will just be seen as bad losers/ entitled/ elitist
I can just see stein, mcgrain, McNeil etc pulling that line
Clubs lost something these last few years.
