St Mirren have revealed they have been hit by an outbreak of Covid-19.
The cinch Premiership club have reported several positive results from lateral flow testing and have cancelled training, with those concerned self-isolating while they await the outcome of PCR tests.
St Mirren have no match this weekend but are due to host Celtic in the league on Wednesday.
A statement on the club’s website read: “St Mirren Football Club can confirm that following recent lateral flow testing we have unfortunately received a number of positive COVID-19 cases.
“In line with Government guidelines, those affected have now taken PCR tests and will self-isolate for 10 days.
“Training has been suspended, but as it stands our upcoming matches will still go ahead. However, we will continue to monitor the situation over the coming days.
“The health and wellbeing of our players and staff remains our utmost priority. St Mirren Football Club will make no further comment at this time.”
Dundee United reported several positive cases earlier in the week but believe they have contained the outbreak ahead of their Premiership game against Rangers on Saturday.
