Scottish football has suffered another coronavirus setback after Kilmarnock announced three positive tests.
The start of the season has been hampered by the COVID-19 pandemic, with no fans allowed into stadiums.
Aberdeen and Celtic both saw games postponed after protocol breaches by their players, while St Mirren were forced to loan a goalkeeper from Hearts after all three of theirs went down with the virus.
Now Killie have announced that three positive tests have been returned, though it's not clear how many, if any, are on the playing staff.
A statement said: "Kilmarnock FC can confirm that three individuals have tested positive for COVID-19.
"All three individuals are currently observing a period of self-isolation in line with Scottish Government and Joint Response Group (JRG) protocols and will be the subject of NHS testing today (Wednesday, September 30).
"Further scheduled testing for players and staff will be carried out on Thursday (October 1).
"Preparations for Friday’s Premiership match with Motherwell will continue while everyone wishes those affected a speedy recovery."
The three involved will be kept apart from the rest of the squad for 10 days, and any players testing positive will be forced to miss the clash with the Steelmen at Rugby Park.
