Ex-East Kilbride boss tests positive for coronavirus

Scotland Under-19s' international friendly against England at St James' Park was abandoned after head coach Billy Stark tested positive for coronavirus.

The former East Kilbride gaffer and Albion Rovers assistant was tested this afternoon and when the results came through that he was positive, the match was immediately abandoned.

Stark will now travel home in isolation and will self-isolate for 10 days.

Players and the rest of the backroom staff will undertake precautionary self-isolation measures for 14 days, whilst the Scottish Government undertakes a formal risk assessment to assess who Stark was in close contact with during the camp.

The under-19 squad included Hamilton Accies duo Andrew Winter and Jamie Hamilton, alongside Clyde's Jay Henderson.

Scotland's under-19s game against England on Sunday has now been postponed along with the scheduled under-17s match at St George's Park on Saturday.
