Del fury at virus chaos
way things have been handled by the SFA.
McInnes would have been without on- loan Rangers star McCrorie, who has now twice tested positive after a previous case at Portsmouth in March, at Ibrox today.
But he’s raging his team will be further decimated.
He said: “We’re very angry and extremely disappointed that we’re now without three very good players for the next three games through no fault of their own.
“You expect when they’re with their country they’ll be looked after but I don’t believe it’s been the case.
“We’ll be looking for assurances that this won’t be repeated.
“Connor and Lewis showed no symptoms and tested negative on their return. We only found out at lunchtime today but it sti ll impacts on our preparations because we
had to push back training and now head to Glasgow without two players who would’ve been playing. I’m without three players through no fault of our own after they went and represented their country.
“Even when they delivered the news today there’s no apology, there’s no remorse – we just have to deal with it.
“There has to be more guarantees and assurances for clubs who’re putting in a helluva lot of money every week to do things properly. It’s incumbent on the SFA to do things better.”
Neil Lennon also blasted the SFA following David Turnbull testing positive after Under-21 duty.
The Celtic boss said: “It’s an absolute shambles. You give these players to the national team in good faith.
“They get sent back and it is basically, ‘ You look after them.’ There should have been more testing.
“Our protocols are good. But these players are going out of our bubble into the international arena and coming back with the virus. It is hard to take.”
