getting back to training.
It's still phase one here as well and I think the majority of clubs will return to training on either Thursday, Friday or the start of next week.
And then hopefully the government will lift to phase two next Friday and everybody can get back to contact because that's one thing for me here that it's going to be difficult.
Celtic, Rangers, Aberdeen, Hibs, St Mirren,
Ross County, they've all got their own training facilities.
St Johnston train out the back of the pitch.
So, you know, they should be safe enough with the testing.
Kilmarnock, Hamilton and Livingston are on the pitch.
But Dundee United is a massive problem because they use St Andrews.
St Andrews is shut and they're going to have to maybe try and find a deal or strike a deal with some junior team to, you know, train out of there.
And Motherwell as well, they're at DL Park.
But I'm led to believe that, speaking to their chief exec,
Last night, I'm led to believe that they should have everything covered in place, that they can take over that and use the facilities at the LPAC solely for Mulliver.
So, listen, I just hope that we're miles behind England in terms of the finances.
And hopefully, in the next couple of weeks, we can get back up to speed and get our teams back in training, ready for the 1st of August.
We'll start today with Troy Deeney because I think he's representative of a change in mood among certainly some Premier League players over the last seven days or so.
Also representative of the momentum that Project Restart seems to have right now.
In an interview here picked up across the back pages, he now sounds much more comfortable with restart plans.
Remember, he's not been back to training yet and he's previously voiced some very understandable concerns about
about his young son, about the increased risk to BAME players.
