FWIW I don't really care what they do with the season now. If United get promoted great, if we don't then it's pash but I'll still buy my ticket and go when the football resumes. It's not really that important in the grand scheme of things.

I think most folk would agree Ivan.

I have genuinely not given football a whole lot of thought since this started.

Everybody has their own story and own concerns during this period. I have responsibility for a large group of people still working through this and have a family at home worried that I am going out every day.

This season is well and truly done either way.

I know Rangers, like many other clubs in Scotland, are very keen to play the season out but that is more to minimise financial losses than anything else.

If the current season does start up again though it certainly wont have the intensity of a normal end of season. It will feel more like pre-season to get players ready for 20/21.

Rangers want it null and void, they don’t want it to resume because their shameless b@stards, their stance on games behind closed doors made that clear.

There is a rule in the SPFL that once 75% of the games have completed, the board of the league can declare the season over with title winners and relegation confirmed.

We have played 78% of the season.

Null and void won’t happen, if anything, next season will be pushed back until possible to complete.

I really don’t think we’ll see European football until 2021 though.

I know for a fact Rangers are desperate for the season to be played out.

The financial implications of not doing so are massive.

There’s no perfect solution to this now.

Most, of not all teams and fans, want the games played to complete the season. But, there’ll be some who will argue about how the break has affected their players, run of form, allowed others to regroup, etc.

Ending the season and placings stand would not suit some, especially over relegations and games in hand.

Making the season null and void brings other issues-contractual, decisions over split of money and European places to name a few.

I can’t second guess what will happen. Only thing that’s certain is someone will be unhappy.

The only thing I wouldn't be happy with is playing games behind closed doors. For me it's either wait and play properly or call it now.

Logistically, I don’t think that’ll happen. Players are against it, and I think there might be a problem with needing emergency services at the games.

I don't think anyone wants games played behind closed doors.

All that would do is maybe satisfy contractual needs with tv companies etc and reduce £ losses to an extent.

Players don't want it, fans don't want it and the financial people behind the scenes at Rangers certainly don't want it.

I think most clubs, if not all, need punters through the door financially so I can't see many, if any, being onboard with games behind closed doors.

There’s no way Celtic will go along with voiding the season, with a potential record equalling 9th successive title and fourth treble in a row on the line.

Someone will have to be disappointed. It might be Celtic (along with the other champions elect).

We should be awarded the title based on rule 13

Rangers are pash and have no chance

Games behind closed doors is fine if it gets the games settled and no issue of sporting integrity.

Obviously we want to be there but if they get them on and able to watch via streams whilst the pubs remain closed it's a win win.

Offered without comment...

Clubs will simply be interested in getting their revenues back to normal.

They will do this as soon as they are allowed - who is declared champion doesn't really come in to the thinking of most teams, so if the league is acting as one then the best interest of the league, every team surviving financially, getting on and get back to normal must be the priority.

Don't think any one would vote now to end the league. Perhaps the better option would be to sit down and discuss a cut off point after which the season is voided and vote on that.

From a moral standpoint Rangers fans were already disappointed - we knew the league was over.

Thus there would be less overall 'new' disappointment giving Celtic the league - as it was a near as damn certain.

Form an alternative viewpoint it's mildly amusing to see the 'sevco' mob squirming.

At lets not pretend that if the roles were reversed -i the discussions would be any different

The Dutch league are set to confirm the same as the Belgian league.

Ajax and AZ are locked on the same points total with 12 games to go.

Ajax top on GD.

AZ have said they would have no arguments should the title be given to Ajax in these circumstances.
