Alan Brazil says football seasons across Europe MUST be completed before a new one can start, as he dismisses "whinging" about the strain on players.
Leagues across Europe have been halted due to the coronavirus pandemic, with UEFA moving Euro 2020 back a year to try and allow time to complete domestic seasons.
There are increasing questions over whether that's possible though, and that's caused huge debate over how things should be brought to a resolution.
Celtic have insisted that their 13 point lead means they should be given the title if the season doesn't end, while Rangers have made it clear they believe it should be null and void.
There have also been concerns about the workload put on players if they have to finish this campaign and immediately go into a new football season, but Brazil feels that is the least of anyone's worries.
He wrote in his Sunday Post column: "Players' welfare is important but I will not accept whinging about a hectic schedule from people earning £150,000 a week.
"Yes, there will be pressure on players and managers. But it's a type of pressure they should relish.
"Real pressure is on the people wondering if they can pay the rent or worrying about loved ones who are unwell.
"There are a number of coaches and managers who feel that having a winter break is vitally important for players. They might be right that it's important but they'll just have to find a way to cope.
"In times of crisis it's important that people have something to cheer them up.
"There are no easy answers to the problems caused by this pandemic but the football community should realise how many of them lead a pampered existence."
Brazil is a Celtic fan but he doesn't feel Neil Lennon 's side should be awarded the title in order to get the 2020-21 season started on time.
He said: "We should complete this season when it is safe to do so and then worry about the future.
"I think it's the way the majority of fans would want things to happen."
