Former Rangers midfielder Alex Rae has taken to Twitter to rubbish claims that Celtic should win the Scottish Premiership title if season finishes early. The 50-year-old who is a regular pundit and BT Sport commentator spoke out following comments on Friday afternoon from Hoops boss Neil Lennon. Lennon believes Celtic should be awarded the title…
The season must be finished to maintain sporting integrity, even if that delays the start of the following season. It’s not just about title winners 'what happens to the clubs in the relegation positions? Seriously, you cannot relegate a team when there are eight or nine games left to play. In addition clubs could go to the wall and lots of people may lose their jobs. I hope that the Government helps out the clubs that are threatened.
The SFA/SPFL will follow suit on what other authorities in other countries will do because they haven’t the guts or the foresight to carry out their own decisions

The authorities refused to extend the season in 2008 when Rangers reached the EL final spouting sporting integrity so a precedence has been set.Also a lot of clubs have loan players and players whose contracts will expire at the end of the normal season, what happens to them?
So, you would hand the title to Celtic, relegate Hearts, promote the scum that are Dundee utd, and relegate Brechin City to non league football! Not happening.
