Celtic star Ryan Christie admits it was 'very frustrating' to be stuck in self-isolation for the second time this season.
The midfielder also had to stay away from people for two weeks back in October after being deemed a close contact of Stuart Armstrong during an international break.
And he was back in again after Christopher Jullien's positive test when Celtic returned from Dubai last week.
Christie revealed he found it very 'challenging' to sit indoors with just an exercise bike to keep him active and ticking over.
Neil Lennon was critical of the decision to isolate 13 players and three members of staff, with 15 of them back available for Wednesday night's game against Livingston.
And Christie told Sky Sports: "It was difficult again, [this time] with it hitting the news and having to isolate. It was very frustrating, it takes a couple days to get your head around it.
"The first time was hard enough, the second time was really challenging. Once again we've come out the other side and want to get back to football now.
"You've got to keep yourself ticking over. It was the same back in the middle of last year with the massive lockdown, the club did well to send us out training programmes and stuff.
"I had an exercise bike in the house, I was on that. You try to pick up little hobbies and things to pass the time."
