The identity of the player has not yet been revealed, as is protocol, but the club have given the following update on their official Twitter account.

The Hoops are due to take on Hibernian at Celtic Park tomorrow evening. The match, which is due to kick off at 7.45pm, is not thought to be in danger, but there will be confirmation of that fixture and any repercussions over the course of the day.

Many fans are speculating whether or not the camp in Dubai was to blame for this positive case, but nothing has been confirmed in that regard. Either way, it doesn’t look great for Celtic from a PR perspective.
