THE HUDDLE and Celtic are synonymous, you think of one and the other springs to mind. It was 25 years ago when the Huddle came into the club through Tony Mowbray and has been practiced at the club ever since.

Yesterday, the Huddle took a new form. The players had to socially distance in keeping with the Scottish Gov and SFA guidelines on the return to football.

The new huddle is part of the new normal but it defies logic that players not be allowed to partake in the pre-match ritual as they have been tested and can celebrate together anyways.
