St Johnstone have hit back at comments made by Neil Lennon - branding them “completely inaccurate and unfounded”.
The Celtic boss had questioned the coronavirus protocols of other Premiership clubs after coming under fire for a trip to Dubai.
On Monday he claimed that, when his side visited McDiarmid Park in October, they were “crammed into a little dressing room”.
But Saints have moved to defend themselves and give their side of the story.
A statement read: “St Johnstone Football Club is extremely disappointed with the completely inaccurate and unfounded comments about our facilities made by Neil Lennon, the Celtic FC manager, in a media conference.
St Johnstone offer McDiarmid Park as COVID jab hub
“We provide one of the largest away team changing areas in the league. Every team, including Celtic, is also provided with a large area for team meetings.
“We follow all protocols and guidance to ensure the health and safety of all players, staff and officials.
“When Celtic FC visited McDiarmid Park on October 4th for an SPFL Premiership match, we made sure their every request and requirement was met. Celtic viewed all of our facilities before the game and no issues were raised. No issues were raised with us after the game.
“All during this challenging period of the past nine months, our football club has maintained adherence to the highest of standards. Indeed, the SPFL delegates have commended us on our work during this campaign.”
