Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has said Celtic and Aberdeen should not play their games this weekend after players broke lockdown rules in separate incidents.

"As a minimum, you should not be expecting to see Aberdeen or Celtic play in the coming week," she said.

"Consider today the yellow card."

"The next time it will be the red card because you will leave us with absolutely no choice."

Celtic defender Boli Bolingoli admitted he played in Sunday's match against Kilmarnock despite having recently returned from Spain without going into quarantine.

Spain is currently on a list of countries where anyone who returns to the UK has to quarantine at home for two weeks.

That breach comes just days after eight Aberdeen players broke lockdown rules to visit a bar in the centre of town, leaving two with positive coronavirus results.

Bolingoli said he wanted to apologise to his manager, team mates, supporters, "and so many others for letting them down so badly".

He added: "I am guilty of a major error of judgement. I know what I did was wrong and I know that I must now deal with the consequences."

His club Celtic confirmed that they have had no positive coronavirus cases to date.
