They postponed two games (Killie v Motherwell on the day of her death and an Old Firm the next night) and then moved the Scotland v Estonia game to the Sunday for her funeral. That was it.

Handsome_Devil Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 I think they'll definitely be off this weekend and next. A bugger from a team pov because Motherwell are playing ok and I'd fancy our chances v County and Hearts atm. It is odd though that domestic football will likely be cancelled but the OF and Hearts (and obviously all the English sides) will certainly be expected by UEFA to get on with it.

Popular Post lubo_blaha Posted September 8, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 8, 2022 Why cancel games at the weekend and beyond when there are tens of thousands watching games right now, just a few hours after her death was announced?Fair enough if you want to grieve the loss of a women who you’ve never met but forcing the rest of us into being miserable too is just unnecessary. 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, especially since Sellick will be in Warsaw on Wednesday and Hearts in Riga on Thursday along with which of the English clubs have away ties next week.

The Master Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Tomorrows Cove v Dundee game might bite the dust as a token gesture but the weekend fixtures should go ahead IMO. Bigger issue might be next week depending on the day of the funeral. If it’s the Sunday, then St Mirren v Celtic and Motherwell v Hearts will almost certainly be postponed. If it’s the Saturday, all fixtures will probably be moved to the Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
