Ed any idea how Brexit will affect Celtics European players. I read somewhere that only Lustig will be our only European player that will be eligible to be employed in the country down to the fact he has played a certain percentage of his countries internationals. Dembele, Simunovic and Boyota wouldn't qualify through this avenue and was wondering if you can shed any light on this. Also wonder if future transfer targets will have this in mind.

{Ed007's Note - Bit out of my knowledge zone, Stevie lad but Ed002 said this last week on the Liverpool site:

Ed002's Note - It is not actually clear what would happen with work permits. There would certainly not be any overnight change but the eventual position would likely be a need for work permits and residence permits. In terms of existing EU citizens already working in the UK, there is no plan but I would think an amnesty would be the likely decision followed by a quota system of some type. A good question but no firm answer I am afraid.}

I'm just sticking with that because anything else is just speculation - Brexit hasn't happened yet and Scotland could still be a part of Europe. ;)

Heard an angry voice in my head when I read the Scotland bit saying "NEVUR! " 😂.

May I. Remind people when i posted last June that it wasn't clear how the Brexit vote could affect players in U k . I was sneered at and told I was stupid and didn't know what I was talking about .
( That hurt because I know I often don't know what I am talking about, but I don't like to be told that . )
