Off it, however, is a different story with all manner of activity. There has been the Celtic trip to Dubai fallout, concern for football with the stricter lockdown measures but most of all the beginning of the transfer window.
There would have been few surprises if the transfer market was a quiet one in Scotland, what with clubs having to cut their cloth accordingly due to the lack of fans. But so far it seems there will be a plenty happening with ins and outs across the SPFL as managers try to tweak their squads, freshen things up or prepare for the summer with players on expiring deals.

The teenage midfielder is out of contract at the end of the season and has attracted interest from Celtic.
Barcelona want to sign the Portuguese starlet on a permanent deal this month, report the Scottish Sun.
There has also been reported interest from Bayern Munich, Porto and Juventus.
Rangers tipped to beat Celtic to Doughty
Rangers have been tipped to beat Celtic to the signing of Alfie Doughty.
The Charlton Athletic winger has attracted a bid from Stoke City which could make it difficult for the Old Firm.
However, ex-Rangers star Alan Hutton reckons his firmer club would be in the driver’s seat if it came down to either club.
He told Football Insider: “Rangers look the stronger outfit, it looks as is if there’s a great chance of them winning the league and maybe has mind would have changed, so it’s obviously a decision for him.
“Both teams are interested so it really falls down to the player and where he sees himself doing better. At the moment I think Rangers are in the driver’s seat.”
GMS to Hearts?
Aberdeen are reportedly in talks with Gary Mackay-Steven over a return to Pittodire.
The winger left New York City last month.
Hearts have been mentioned as a possible destination but it is believed that the club won’t be moving for the winger.
Ian Murray on Thomas Robert interest
Airdrieonians star Thomas Robert has been linked with Celtic, Rangers, Hearts and Hibs recently.
The player spoke of his reasoning for moving to Airdrie and the desire to prove himself and earn a bigger move.
Former Hibs captain Ian Murray is in charge of Airdrie and doesn’t think a team will look to sign him just yet.
He said: “I’m pretty confident [he will stay]. There’s a lot of publicity around Thomas, he’s done really well, but he’s only played about 12 or 13 games or something like that.
