I find it bizarre to be honest.
We are told to wear masks going into shops due to potentially catching it yet you can play football when you are breathing heavily/maybe even coughing/sweating/clearing nose etc when training. Teams are training as normal also so 2m rule doesn’t apply.
Plus going by Motherwell’s tweet, they only found out at 9:30pm last night. Celtic would have been in hotel by then, including Turnbull.
Surely the club wouldn’t be going to a hotel for a game in Edinburgh?. Unnecessary mixing you’d imagine.I find it bizarre to be honest.

You wouldn't be within 2m for 15 minutes during training.
Unless you were somehow tied to another player.
So who's the 3rd player then?

I hope both stay covid negative.Aberdeen FC is highly disappointed to confirm that, upon returning from international duty with Scotland Under 21’s, a member of the first team squad yesterday tested positive for COVID-19.
The individual, who is asymptomatic, has been self-isolating since receiving the test result.
Following guidance from the Scottish Government’s COVID experts, two further first team players, who were also part of the Scotland Under 21 squad, will be required to self-isolate for 14 days having been identified as close contacts as a result of the aircraft and bus seating manifests.
No other members of the first team or coaching staff at Cormack Park have tested positive, either during this week’s routine testing, or in fact since August.
From the outset the Club has diligently followed the strict protocols outlined by the Joint Response Group (JRG) and with a regular testing regime and stringent safety measures in place aimed at minimising any potential risk, this is a hugely frustrating situation for all at AFC.
With three first team players now missing in what is a crucial week for the Club, these developments will have a significant impact upon the integrity of its preparations, and it will be seeking urgent assurances from the Scottish FA to ensure its players remain safe whilst on International duty.
Aberdeen FC - Club confirm positive test result for COVID-19

I know this is getting a bit mental which I’m not meaning it to but practicing set plays could invlove that.
Still not for a whole 15 minutes I wouldn't think.
Not that the 15 minute thing makes any sense in the first place
Robby McCrorie, he was the first one to be identified.So it’s turnbull, one sheep, who is the third?
Am i missing something big here?
Why would our game not go ahead?
Confirmed in an aberdeen statement. They have one player positive and the other 2 players in the u21 squad are self isolating
They have their entire midfield out tomorrow, they will be left with Ojo and some youngsters
Will depend on whether the develop symptoms over the coming daysSo looks like we’ll be unscathed apart from maybe a couple of youngsters having to isolate ?
Only two through covid. The rest are injuries or mccrorie ineligibleJust people being panic merchants mate.
To answer your question, it would require a large number of either squad to be out as per some of the postponements earlier in the season. Aberdeen are seemingly missing a handful but not enough for a postponement.
The SFA surely have questions to answer here.
Sfa won’t admit a protocol breach.Is it all just pot luck?
Or a protocol breach?
Maybe none of the above but it's a consistent story repeating itself.
In line with that, BBC site report says:The local press have named them as McLennan, Ferguson and McCrorie
So does that mean the players breached protocol? Bans coming?Without a doubt. Motherwell, Aberdeen and Celtic clearly hinting at some sort of protocol breach from the SFA
One of the Aberdeen three - Ferguson, McLennan or McCrorie. The two who are COVID negative are now in isolation and also miss tomorrow’s game.So it’s turnbull, one sheep, who is the third?
ArseholeCan I ask a stupid question here...BBC sportsound... What do they call Pat Bonnar?
Yeah, no doubt travelled up the road together.In line with that, BBC site report says:
... Aberdeen have confirmed they will be without three squad members in total with two further players identified as close contacts.
So that sounds like it’s probably Ferguson McCrorie and McLennan.

30, 40, 50, 60 million pound playerMust win game for them and Edouard is on bench
Must be true then, some guy on twitter...Seen a guy on Twitter say it’s been mentioned and waiting on sfa and the clubs
Surely the clubs involved should be demanding answers unless the fault lies elsewhere.Sfa won’t admit a protocol breach.
That would only come out if a player revealed it.
The end is nigh, repent ye sinners!Catastrophic FFS.
They are meaning that the SFA did not have adequate measures in place to protect the players. Maybe they will launch an investigation into themselvesSo does that mean the players breached protocol? Bans coming?
When was Ross McCrorie confirmed?So, 2 x McCrorie’s and Turnbull are the positives. The eight isolating are Welsh (Celtic), Campbell and McGuire (Motherwell), Ferguson and MacLennan (Aberdeen) - plus 3 others. Who are the missing names I wonder?
Assuming Robbie McCrorie was the first identified.
Not been confirmed mate. Was the first name put out there though. And he’s not in the Livi squad today.When was Ross McCrorie confirmed?
Lunatics on FFwho mentioned our game being off
That's Robbie.Not been confirmed mate. Was the first name put out there though. And he’s not in the Livi squad today.
He’s never been in a Livi squadNot been confirmed mate. Was the first name put out there though. And he’s not in the Livi squad today.
Sorry, meant the 3rd positive test.Ross, Ferguson and McLennan.
Even hanging about the training ground/canteen is surely a risk if he’s positive? Remember SFA only alerted clubs to this around 9:30pm last night going by what Motherwell have said.Outdoor training 'should' be fine, but aye if they were in hotels etc then it could be an issue.
