Celtic went to train in Dubai... and returned with a COVID-19 positive

Celtic have returned from their training camp in the United Arab Emirates. The Scottish side had been training in Dubai to prepare for the return of the competition.

It will be on Monday when they face Hibs, but in the last few hours, they have detected a coronavirus positive in the team and just 48 hours after returning to the country.

All other members of the club sat the test and were negative, so the match on Monday isn't in any danger.

According to assistant manager John Kennedy, Celtic had made some "minor slip-ups" in the COVID-19 protocols during their stay in Dubai.

Celtic already had criticism for going ahead with their journey amidst the restrictions in Scotland against the coronavirus.
