Airdrieonians v Alloa Athletic postponed amid Covid chaos

Airdrieonians' clash with Alloa on Saturday has been postponed amid a Covid outbreak among the Diamonds' squad.

Ian Murray's side were missing five players from Saturday's trip to Peterhead, but still pulled off a 3-2 victory at Balmoor to record their first win in League One this season.

However, the SPFL have accepted a request from the club to postpone this weekend's visit from the Wasps due to a number of the squad self-isolating.

A statement from the SPFL read: "Saturday’s cinch League 1 match between Airdrieonians and Alloa Athletic at The Penny Cars Stadium has been postponed.

"Airdrieonians requested that the SPFL postpone the fixture as, due to the number of players self isolating, they do not have sufficient players available to fulfil the fixture."

An SPFL spokesman added: “After reviewing the information provided by Airdrieonians, Saturday’s match between Airdrieonians and Alloa Athletic has been postponed and a further update will be provided in due course.”
