Scotland have been rocked by Covid chaos this week after six players did not travel to Portugal following John Fleck's positive test.
John McGinn, Nathan Patterson, Stephen O'Donnell, Che Adams, David Marshall and Grant Hanley were all deemed by the SFA doctors to have been the closest contacts with Fleck, albeit medics are taking the safest option.
None of the six have travelled, Herald and Times Sport understands, to Portugal for their Euro 2020 warmup clash against the Netherlands this evening.
It is believed to be a precaution at this time as, following more tests undertaken by the squad in the wake of Fleck's diagnosis did not show any more positive tests.
It comes after we told how Fleck of Sheffield Utd would be forced to self-isolate after his test came back showing he had the killer virus.

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
