Makes sense although given that they'll be training together and what we know about the delays in the onset on symptoms, it may not be for another few days before others test positive.Quote:

It's not being reported anywhere because it's just scaremongering opinion.Quote:

The SPFL had been told the fixture in Perth - all Premiership games are presently being played behind closed doors - will go ahead as planned.
Aberdeen are scheduled to host Hamilton Academical at Pittodrie next Wednesday and, as things stand, that game is also unaffected.
They did.Quote:

950 cases and 49 deaths registered in the UK today.
Highest number of new cases in almost 6 weeks.
Indeed.Quote:

No announcement yet from any other part of the UK but it's expected they'll announce the same very soon.
Those games weren’t played in Scotland though.Quote:

The relevance is our rules and guidance will be different.Quote:

Despite the out of date name for the league, the government doesn't seem to have any concerns over Aberdeen fulfillng their fixtures;
The Scottish Premier League (SPL) home fixture on Wednesday 12 August will go ahead. SPL football clubs, and ancillary staff, are currently operating within a sporting bubble, supported by regular COVID-19 testing and robust guidance to ensure the virus is not brought in, or transmitted, through that environment.
What's the current status of the Scottish track and trace app? If Northern Ireland and ROI are up and running we surely can't be far behind? It seems like it would be a pretty useful tool right now.
We are going to have the same system as Ireland & NI. No dates yet afaik.Quote:
