St Mirren request postponement of games against Celtic and Rangers

St Mirren have requested their upcoming matches against Celtic and Rangers are postponed due to further postive Covid tests.

The Paisley side were reported to only have 10 senior outfield players available for the games after a coronavirus outbreak in their camp.

Both matches were still scheduled to go ahead, but the club have now confirmed they have received more positive test results today.

As a result, the Buddies have requested to the SPFL that the games are postponed as they are unable to field a team.

A club statement read: "St Mirren Football Club can confirm that it has requested postponements of our upcoming cinch Premiership matches against Celtic and Rangers following further positive covid tests.

"We have tried our utmost to fulfil the fixture, however, following further positive covid cases this morning we are unable to field a team for either match with a significant number of first-team players and staff unavailable.

"The health and wellbeing of our players and staff remains our utmost priority and we will continue to take every precaution necessary.

"We are in continued discussions with the SPFL and we will keep supporters updated as we look for a resolution to this matter".
