Now a further two Premiership players have tested positive for the virus and will miss this weekend’s matches. All players affected were in the squad for the midweek Euro qualifier in Greece.
Emergency talks involving the Scottish FA, Scottish Government and health authorities were held before Saturday’s fixtures to get to the bottom of this outbreak.
Following the meeting, a conclusion has been reached that a further eight players and two coaches will be made to self-isolate under the close contact rule.
A blow for several clubs.
