hello and welcome to sportsday with me, chetan pathak. coming up on the programme: celtic and aberdeen‘s next two scottish premiership matches are postponed after their players broke lockdown rules. i'm livid. absolutely livid. consider today the yellow card, but the next time will be the red card because you leave us with no choice. nearly 50 years on from their last great european run, can wolves recreate the heroics of 1972? and the ‘crucible curse‘ strikes again as the defending championjudd trump goes out in the quarterfinals.

welcome to the programme, thanks forjoining us. the scottish football season has escaped from being entirely suspended today. instead, the first minister nicola sturgeon says she's showing a yellow card after celtic and aberdeen players broke lockdown rules. that's led to both sides next two matches, including their game against each other this weekend, being postponed. chris mclaughlin reports. sunday and the football players surrounded by team—mates and opponents, but they should have been in quarantine. boli bolingoli broke

the rules. do you regret believing the rules. do you regret believing the go—ahead for football to resume when you did? my regret is that some football players seem incapable of living up to their responsibilities. i very much regret that. this is just not acceptable. we're asking members of the public every day to make sacrifices and how they live their lives. the vast majority of members of the public are doing that, and it's not easy. we can't have privilege football players just deciding they're not going to bother. he's now self-isolating and celtic a's bother. he's now self-isolating and celtic as next two matches have been postponed. his future at the clu b been postponed. his future at the club is very much in doubt. those at the club are so quite simply raging. absolutely livid. appalled. the club have been at the forefront of maintaining good practice. the protocols are in place trying to get

the game up and running. it's the second scottish football breach in less tha n second scottish football breach in less than a week. eight aberdeen players were or to apologise after gathering at this bar last weekend. we've designed a bubble system because the app privilege —— they are privilege, they are getting to do things the rest of the population aren't. i hope you can hear my voice how disappointed i was yesterday to hear of another. it's notjust how disappointed i was yesterday to hear of another. it's not just this one player, it's a series of breaches. so measures have now been agreed after a tense meeting this morning between football and government. matches postponed but no blanket punishment for the entire game, a player education programme your mind stars of their responsibilities and a clear punishment systems for clubs for players to step out of line —— reminders of responsibilities of. the next time it will be a red card because you will leave us with

absolute no choice. it was close, but got it football continues for some for now. one more breach and it's off. chris mcglocklin, bbc news. one more line to bring you on coronavirus—related postponements. linfield's preliminary round tie with fc drita in the champions league tonight has been postponed. confirmation came through just over an hour before kick—off after a second player from the kosovan side tested positive for covid—i9. with more on that, i'm joined in the studio by the former scotland international pat nevin. so the upshot of all this is postponing celtic and aberdeen‘s next two matches, but letting the season continue. is that a fair response? at the fair response, certainly. it could be much worse. scotland have been very strong with the regulations regarding covid.

however, it's now on incredibly thin ice. for boli bolingoli to do what he did, he didn't tell so it sounded like he knew what he was doing. i believe the games are not all postponed, but he's absently furious. and he has every right to be furious. i think there may have been unexcused for the aberdeen players because there may have been a level of ignorance, and we see this in the education programme put out for the players. it's got to told, can't happen again. can you understand the frustrations of fans playing celtic and aberdeen in the week, those matches now postponed. no fault of their own, could you have seen a point deduction that would have sent out a stronger message? i think that was the point i was mentioned, there will be different. now they know it's

mysterious, maybe first thing —— it's serious. you may have to consider points deductions and may be more than that. the league might have to be stopped completely. it's that serious. nicola sturgeon will ta ke that serious. nicola sturgeon will take it that seriously. it was part of our comments earlier, a point to say it's privilege footballers at times feeling they can do what they wa nt times feeling they can do what they want to, and she wants to send out a stronger message. she will use that red card if she needs to. i'm not that happy with the word privilege being used. it's not always hugely with two wealthy people. they do have other things that other evil in the systems don't have. i think with possibly a bit of stupidity that can be allowed —— the other people. 0bviously be allowed —— the other people. obviously going on from here. one strike fine, second straight, there is no third one, you are out.

pat is kindly staying put because he's part of five live sports commentary team for tonight's football. what a night it could be if you're a wolves fan. injust under and hour and a half, they play their first european quarter final in almost 50 years. if they can beat the five time champions sevilla, they'll face manchester united in an all english europa league semi final. whatever happens, for a club that was playing in the championship just over a couple of years ago, this season's been another incredible effort with tonight, their 59th game of the season. patrick gearey reports. the greatest society of the 0nce once upon 0nce upona once upon a time you could find wolves all over europe. in wolverhampton, they were frequent travellers, one of england's best taking on the continent. in 1972, they reach their europa cup fi
