"Individuals" rather than players say the BBC...we will see on Friday whether Killie have been unlucky or not.

BBC -Three further Kilmarnock players have tested positive for Covid-19, taking the number of cases at the Scottish Premiership club to six.

And from the SPFL

The Joint Response Group has tonight been informed by Kilmarnock FC that three further players have tested positive for COVID-19.

This means six players in total have now tested positive and will require to self-isolate as per Scottish Government guidelines.

The SPFL is awaiting further information from Kilmarnock FC and Ayrshire and Arran Health Board’s Test and Protect team tomorrow morning to determine the implications of the test results for tomorrow’s Premiership fixture against Motherwell.

The league body will make further comment upon receipt of that information.

Game must be in severe doubt now.

Mmmmmm should the St. Midden precedent apply? Will they be coerced to play the game on their plastic rug regardless? If so, hopefully their affected players are Burke, current very efficient striker and the first team goalie lol!

Given st.mirren were forced to play I can’t fathom how this game should not take place.
They have more than sufficient players to select from... heck we could let them borrow a few of ours!

That said doesn’t the opposition have a say? If there’s a spreading outbreak there, the false negatives if they have some not testing positive yet could easily infect our team/staff.

St Mirren we're all goalies who had been training apart - apparently. Killie clearly have a broader outbreak and with the incubation period mentioned above I can't see any way we'll be playing tonight.

[jwok]

We await a decision...

Can’t see any way we will be playing tonight. Think SPL will believe “Sporting integrity” has to be seen to be done and think Kilmarnock’s next couple of games are postponed so as no one gains an unfair advantage.
