Neil Lennon has admitted Boli Bolingoli wasn't the only Celtic player to flout strict Covid travel laws.
The former Celtic manager made the revelation that two more unnamed players broke rules with trips to Manchester and Amsterdam during the lockdown at the height of the pandemic.
Bolingoli - now at Mechelen - had broken rules to fly to Marbella during a few days off despite warnings to stay in Glasgow from club chiefs.
Lennon revealed the players had been left in no uncertain terms over their responsibility to remain in Scotland.
He explained that Bolingoli originally claimed he had travelled to Belgium to see family before confessing to his Marbella trip.
Lennon then held a meeting with players to uncover whether any other first-team players had broken rules. No players came forward initially, but Lennon revealed two players then owned up to breaking Covid rules on travel by taking trips to Amsterdam and Manchester.
Discussing the scenario in an exclusive interview with PLZ Soccer, Lennon said: "We had the Bolingoli incident at the start of that season. You're saying don't leave Glasgow and he gets on a flight to Spain for day. Then he comes back and says I didn't go to Spain, I went to Belgium. We played Hamilton and gave him a couple of days off and said you’re not allowed to leave Glasgow, stay in Glasgow.
"A week later we’re playing Kilmarnock. In between that he had gone to Spain, not told anyone and then was in the squad and played a bit of the game against Kilmarnock.
"Then the story develops, develops, develops and we said ‘look, you weren’t supposed to leave Glasgow, what did you do?’
"He said 'I went to Andorra and then drove over the border to Belgium to see my family'.
"Two hours later he rings me and goes 'Actually I went to Marbella for the day' - he's a grown man, what can you do?
"I then had a meeting with the players - ‘Did anyone else leave Glasgow?' No.
"Later on I get two phone calls from players – I’m not going to say who – saying 'Gaffer I was in Amsterdam' and 'I was in Manchester'.
"You’re like 'Guys come on!'
"Again when you look back on it it was really difficult for them – they missed their families. There were no restaurants and no social interaction with people and they broke the rules. I get it."
