“In accordance with all Government and JRG guidance, we have been in touch with all of the relevant authorities to make them aware of the situation, and they are satisfied that all protocols have been followed.
Game goes ahead
“All other squad members and staff were tested yesterday (Thursday) and all have returned negative results. Our Premiership match with St Johnstone tomorrow is unaffected, and we wish those affected a speedy recovery” the statement concludes.
Kilmarnock has a busy schedule in the next few weeks. They are due to face Celtic at Rugby Park on Wednesday night. They then have another five league games in February. The club will be hoping that the outbreak stays at the current low level. If the number of players increases, games may have to be postponed. That is the last thing the club or the SPFL will want.
