Nobody wants to see the title just handed out, it's not the ordinary thing to do. We are living in very extraordinary times though. This pandemic has had the effect of closing down entire continents, putting thousands on mortuary slabs and millions in queer street. Football is a very distant priority for most.
The decision to play both the Liverpool and Rangers home Euro ties was gobsmacking to say the least, especially Liverpool. Admitting 3000 people into a stadium from one of the worst hit epicentres, Madrid was in my opinion, criminally negligent.
As for our league, our only real option to please most is to finish the Season behind closed doors with every safety aspect covered. Pre screening for players, quarantine until it's over, playing games like a 5's tournament, one after the other in one place, even indoors are all bizarre options but options available. What cannot happen though is null and void, it simply can't. The Season has gone too far for that. The implications for Clubs would be much worse than it is now. It would leave them open to all manner of financial claims from supporters to sponsors. If you look at any Clubs T&C's there will be no scenario for this which would be a lawyers wet dream.
If the league cannot be played out, current standings must be used. Harsh for some but that is the position they are in now. The league is not the Cup, that can be cancelled or deferred, the league can't without biting into next years Season. The knock on effects would be too much.
For all the null and voiders out there, Rangers weren't guaranteed second place just as much as Celtic weren't guaranteed first place but I'm a realist. Celtic were always going to win the league after the winter break results. Could any Rangers fans without blue tinted specs say otherwise?

Can any Tim without green tinted on say they would accept Rangers winning the league if they could still be caught?

the difference is a cup is a knockout competition and a league is first pass the post …… wait a minute. here's a question. does anyone remember as a kid casey jones running a railroad on the tv?

Mate, if my team had blown it as much as Rangers did the two months after the shutdown then no amount of green tint would make me think we could claw back a 13 point gap, game in hand or not with current form. Can you say that Rangers wouldn't have lost another game up to the end of the season? Celtic would have to have imploded, massively. There were no signs any of that was going to happen.
As I said, the Season ideally should be played to a finish to avoid doubt. If that can't happen, current league positions have to be taken into account.
It can't be null and void.

Ifyermaw, yip, i say rangers fc would have won the league this season.

What you think and what I think is irrelevant, the point your missing is the league can still be won, what about Hearts, Partick Thistle.

Whose to say we wouldn't start back and fly out the traps while you lot s*** in the nest? Is it not possible given we had the upper hand at the halfway stage? I've seen too many strange things like the lead up to helicopter Sunday 2005 to be surprised by anything.

I get that teams are in the position they could overturn their fortunes. The financial implications for Hearts dropping down a division is dire for them. That is why there must be every option explored to finish the ties and that is my choice. Another option would be no relegation but reform to allow promotion (12 team Premiership) or to pay hefty financial compensation for promoted teams to stay in their divisions. These scenarios are now entering the premis of being very complicated to carry out and probably unworkable.
If though, every option has been explored then current league positions must stand. Unfortunately for Hearts, that would inevitably mean relegation but that is the position they are now in.
It sucks but not anywhere near as catastrophic in how this virus is destroying life as we know it.

What about Partick thistle then in your view .
Anything goes as long as smeltic get their way?
Ridiculous.
11.) 09 Apr 2020 16:22:17
Current league positions apply. How difficult is that to understand?
The teams are bottom of their leagues because they're not good enough.
12.) 09 Apr 2020 17:10:11
Ridiculous even contemplating awarding titles and handing out relegation. Ridiculous, but not surprising up here.
13.) 09 Apr 2020 19:29:39
Ifyermawhudbaws of course I can say it because it WASN'T actually completed. simples. then there was those war titles we didn't get. swap?
ivger yes he was! hahahahaah great spot!

Seeker, What's ridiculous about it? This is a worst case scenario. If the league cannot be completed and all options have been exhausted, current standings must apply.
Unfortunately for you, Celtic would be crowned Champions and unfortunately for Anne Budge, Hearts would be relegated.
The reason being, they are top and bottom of the league respectfully.
Even tougher for Thistle in this scenario but league positions at the end of the current campaign apply.
Its not in any way fair but neither is life. Nobody asked for this pandemic.
What would your solution be?
15.) 09 Apr 2020 23:15:50
If the season can't be played out thrn scrap it and we go again next season. Anuthing else is just wrong. Sporting integrity. Remember that?

Eric blair, yip i remember old casey jones, were you a gigantor fan, my favourite was the beverley hill billies, not because of the billie, lol, also used to stay up late to watch the untouchables, ahhh those were the days, eh.
