ST MIRREN have announced a number of Covid cases have been identified at the club.
A statement this morning confirmed multiple positive Covid test results at the Paisley club with training suspended.
Those affected have taken PCR tests and will self-isolate for 10 days meaning they'll miss the next two fixtures with Rangers and Celtic.
The Buddies are not in action this weekend but are set to play Celtic on Wednesday, December 22 and Rangers on Boxing Day.
And despite the Covid outbreak club chiefs expect the matches will still go ahead with the situation being monitored.
A statement on the club website read: "St Mirren Football Club can confirm that following recent lateral flow testing we have unfortunately received a number of positive COVID-19 cases.
"In line with Government guidelines, those affected have now taken PCR tests and will self-isolate for 10 days.
"Training has been suspended, but as it stands our upcoming matches will still go ahead. We will continue to monitor the situation over the coming days.
"The health and wellbeing of our players and staff remains our utmost priority.
"St Mirren Football Club will make no further comment at this time."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
