Football: Scottish Premier League games postponed after players break COVID-19 quarantine

Celtic and Aberdeen's next two Scottish Premiership football matches have been postponed, after their players broke quarantine rules.

Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon demanded the cancellation, after Celtic defender Boli Bolingoli played in a 1-1 draw at Kilmarnock on Sunday, without quarantining after returning from Spain - where he had travelled without informing the club.

Bolingoli's breach of rules comes days after Aberdeen's trip to St Johnstone was called off, due to two of their players testing positive for COVID-19, with six others self-isolating.

Celtic were scheduled to visit St Mirren on Wednesday, while Aberdeen were due to face Hamilton. Celtic were also scheduled to host Aberdeen on Saturday.
