SCOTTISH football went into lockdown at the weekend due to the spiralling effect of the coronavirus and its impact on society as a whole.
The doubts about weekend football were rising as the week progressed and although the big news centred on the postponement of the Glasgow derby, with the table-topping Celts scheduled to visit Ibrox, it was no different for the women’s game, and the Hoops’ trip to the capital was also put on the backburner.
Fran Alonso’s Celtic side were set for a trip to the Oriam National Performance Centre in Edinburgh to take on Premier newcomers Hearts in the second league outing of the season for both clubs.
As it is, following a pre-season in Gran Canaria, League Cup games against Glasgow Women, St Johnstone and Spartans, and a 2-1 win over Glasgow City, the campaign for Celtic Women has ground to a premature and unexpected standstill after just a few weeks.
The Celtic View caught up with defender, Chloe Craig to find out the mood in the camp, and how they are reacting to the outcome.
