Dundee United will be without nine unnamed players, and their entire coaching staff for the trip to Livingston
Nine Dundee United players will miss their Scottish Premiership match at Livingston after being deemed close contacts of Covid-positive staff members.
Three staff tested positive for coronavirus, forcing the entire coaching team, including manager Micky Mellon, to self-isolate.
And after discussions with the Scottish FA and Tayside health board, nine squad members must also now self-isolate for 14 days.
Academy coach Thomas Courts will take charge of the team for the Livingston match on Saturday.
"Nine members of our squad are now self-isolating as a precaution due to having close contact with medical staff at the HPC at St Andrews," sporting director Tony Asghar .
Those in isolation will also be unavailable to face Rangers on 13 December.
