Andy Walker blasts Celtic over handling of controversial Dubai trip

Former Celtic striker Andy Walker has blasted the ‘dismal governance’ of the ‘arrogant’ Hoops following the club’s recent trip to Dubai.

Christopher Jullien’s positive test for COVID-19 on the squad’s return to Scotland forced 13 of his teammates into isolation.

Manager Neil Lennon and his assistant John Kennedy are also isolating, leaving Celtic extremely depleted for the Scottish Premiership game against Hibernian.

Many of the club’s fans hit out at the decision to travel for the winter break, while First Minister Nicola Sturgeon also questioned the wisdom of the trip.
