Vigurs says County will continue to comply
IAIN VIGURS has insisted nobody at Ross County will put the Premiership season into jeopardy by flouting coronavirus restrictions.
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon issued a final warning to football after Celtic’s next two games – at St Mirren and at home to Aberdeen – were called off when it emerged that Hoops defender Boli Bolingoli had flown to Spain last week and then come off the bench against Kilmarnock on Sunday in contravention of quarantine rules.
Bolingoli’s actions, which were branded “selfish” by manager Neil Lennon, came just days after two Dons players tested positive for Covid-19 following a night out, prompting government advisers to address the the managers and captains of of the 12 Premiership clubs, County’s Vigurs among them.
Asked about the latest development, Vigurs said: “It’s got nothing to do with us. It’s nothing to do with our club, so it’s hard to pass comment when it’s nothing to do with Ross County.
“We don’t know what’s happening with these other clubs so for me to pass judgment on it would be wrong.”
Asked specifically about his club, he added: “We’re in a fortunate position as to what we can do as in being able to play football and train, so we’re not going to disrupt that by doing anything that we shouldn’t be doing.
“The boys as of yet have been complying with the rules and that’s all we can do for ourselves.”
Single-goal victories over Motherwell and Hamilton have left County level on points with leaders Hibernian and Rangers and with a platform to build upon.
Skipper Vigurs said: “All it is is a good start, nothing else. We haven’t won anything, haven’t done anything.”
