BETWEEN the Covid-interrupted 2019/20 season and the following one that was played exclusively behind closed doors, Scottish football supporters haven’t been left shy of one-off campaigns in recent years. Both brought unique and bespoke problems that had to be carefully negotiated – and we are approaching yet another season that will bring its own distinct issues.
Thankfully, this time the problem will be a logistical one, as opposed to the response to a pandemic. You see, this year there happens to be a World Cup being held in the winter. It hasn’t happened before and it is difficult to envisage it happening again anytime soon.
