East Fife have received a fine from the SPFL after refusing to play their fixture with Clyde, with the game now rescheduled.
The League One side were set to take on The Bully Wee at Broadwood in the post split match earlier this week.
However, the Bayview side decided not to play after being informed of a positive Covid test in the Clyde ranks shortly before kick-off.
The match was first delayed to 7.15pm from its original 7pm kick-off time before being called off completely as boss Darren Young and his players raised concerns over exposure to the virus.
The Bully Wee then released a statement to indicate they had been cleared to play by the SPFL and SFA ’s Joint Response Group.
The league fast-tracked disciplinary proceedings against East Fife to Thursday with the third tier season entering the closing stages.
The Fifers admitted breaching SPFL Rules by failing to fulfil a fixture and were fined £11,000, of which £1,000 is payable now and £10,000 is suspended.
The rescheduled Clyde v East Fife match will now take place next Thursday, 6 May.
A spokesman for the SPFL said: “Clearly, the circumstances surrounding Tuesday’s match were difficult for all involved. However, the advice from members of the Joint Response Group was clear and unequivocal.
"Following such advice, which is informed by frequent discussions with the ESCAG, has been, and remains, crucial to achieving an orderly conclusion to SPFL competitions.
“While the SPFL has sympathy with players who may not have had all relevant information, no League or other football body can accept a situation in which a club fails to fulfil a match in circumstances where all of the medical advice is that the match can safely proceed. There has been no recorded case, worldwide, of any on-pitch transmission of COVID-19.
“We would like to thank East Fife for their early admission of the charges. We appreciate the difficult position of the East Fife FC Board, faced with a decision having been made by their players.”
The new kick-off date for the League One fixture is Thursday May 6 at 7pm.
