Covid-hit Ross County have been forced to pull out of their game against Dundee as their outbreak issues continue.
Malky Mackay 's side suffered a blow last week as they were forced to suspend football operations in the build up to their opener against Forfar.
The game against the League Two side was awarded to the Loons as a 3-0, and the same result has been handed to County's Premiership rivals.
An SPFL spokesman confirmed the Staggies do not have enough available players to fulfil the fixture.
The statement read: “Consistent with previous announcements in respect of similar issues in the group stage of this competition, any team unable or unwilling to field a team in a Premier Sports Cup Round 1 group stage tie, will forfeit the match on the basis of a 3-0 defeat. Accordingly, Dundee have been awarded a 3-0 win in the tie.
“We wish the affected players and staff at Ross County all the very best in their recovery and will continue to liaise with the club in the coming days, ahead of their next scheduled Premier Sports Cup match against Brora Rangers on Wednesday July 21.”
