Your showing your true colours. Can't even bring yourself to say The Rangers.

The great big naughty assumption shows more about you my friend.
Maybe see you at the old hairy knees in the summer if we're allowed a game of golf before the seasons over.

The 15 point lead Rangers had was on 5 November after 14 games of the season played and 24 to go. Celtic were top by Xmas. Bit different from the current situation where there are only 8 games left to play.
The best solution is to end the lower leagues now and to give it another month to see if there is any likelihood of completing the Prem fixtures. If that isn't possible, then Celtic deserve to be crowned champions (as do Liverpool down south). There is no chance that Celtic would lose a minimum of 5 of their last 8 games.

You'll be accused of showing your colours with sensible thought out replies.
Lower league clubs need the money now to keep going is the problem. While.i have sympathy for Thistle it is what it is.
Re Liverpool they could have been given the title at Christmas.

The Bhoy in rude, So no point in debating, with user names like that on a golf forum.
So I'll leave you to it.

Dear me, where to start with that post!
"No point in debating" because we support different clubs? And as for the comment about my user name, are football fans not allowed on this forum?

It's also a very poor advert for his club as well!
It’s not about who you support, it’s about sporting integrity.
These players will want to finish the games.
I know a few boys in the leagues and they all say the same.

Just play the remaining games of this season as double header ‘last of this‘ and ’first of next’. if we are lucky they'll be played by Christmas. In any case, schedule a two week break to follow completion of the final eight games and present this seasons trophy at the start of the break. Then at that point have promotion and relegation with the teams being promoted and relegated taking each other’s place in their respective leagues.
yes I know - not got a clue if it’s even vaguely doable.

Look at league 1, arguably 5 teams could win it.
You can’t just decide that’s it, what’s the point in having a league ‘season’.
It needs completed or you just go again for the new season.

Everyone agrees that playing the remaining fixtures is the ideal solution, however is it really practical given that loads of players will be out of contract next month?

so by that rationale, I assume you wouldn't give Liverpool the league as City could theoretically catch them?
I know what you’re saying and there’s no easy answer, it’s just my opinion that games need finished regardless, it’s just not right to relegate and promote teams without finishing.
Correct, look at the bigger picture, I’m assuming the 3 teams in the relegation zone of the premiership won’t be happy going down and there would be a subsequent law suit.
If Celtic were bottom right now and Hearts were top, would you be happy for season to end now?

A geat line in a BBC article....
'Scottish football is never knowingly short of off-field bedlam..'

Fifa/UEFA have agreed to move contracts back in a uniform fashion by a month I think it was. It may be until the termination of the season, whichever league you are in. There may be other reasons why the season wont finish but players contracts should not be the sticking point.

I couldn't care who is top or bottom, this situation is unique. It's uncharted territory and there is no magic solution, that why you need to make a bold and decisive decision.
Extending the league is a minefield and players can ultimately refuse to play for "their" club.
Null and void doesn't work as it means sponsorship money would need to be repaid, clubs would go bust and listening to a lawyer the other day, potentially fans would have a claim for season ticket money to be reimbursed.
