Having the chance to go 11 points clear is fantastic but (and I include us in this) those points should not be on offer to win back in the future for the club who wasn't able to fulfill their fixture/ s.
I feel in this instance it's as simple as that, should a team not be able to fulfill their fixtures then the points are awarded to the other team who are credited with a 3-0 win.
That is a rule that is in place now and C.V. shouldn't make it null and void. It is the club who signed up to the league rules' obligation to play their ties, end of.

What if both teams are involved?
Who gets the win?

No points no goals.

no points and minus 3 goals each and a no score draw for the coupon.

They should have to forfeit the points, simple as that. ðŸ‘.

I would guess at the moment that the rule is if a team fields an ineligible player they mean made ineligible by the SPFL or UEFA.
Otherwise Douglas Park would have our lawyers onto this in a flash.

What 3 cheers said bar72.
There has to be a deterrent and some sort of advantage to the teams who are able to fulfill their fixtures.
These teams now have the chance to win these points back and to have a stronger squad whilst doing so. Doesn't seem fair.
Also as someone eluded to, if the rules were followed regarding C. V. then Boli would've had to isolate upon return from his jollies. Therefore, intelligible to play and so surely that carries its own tariff?
As I said previously, it's being made up as it goes along because it's unprecedented.
However, surely some things can be looked at and some kind of logic applied to them, like those mentioned here.
There are rules already in place if you field intelligible players and for not fulfilling your fixtures, just apply those to these situations.

Chuck both Celtic and Aberdeen out.
Invite Hearts and Partick Thistle in. ðŸ‘
Not because they deserve it, just for the banter. 😂.
