  /  autty

Dundee United will be without nine players as well as their entire first-team coaching staff for Saturday's trip to Livingston after three non-playing members of staff returned positive coronavirus tests.

Sporting director Tony Asghar said on the club's official website: "After further discussions with the Scottish FA and Tayside Health Board, we have been advised that our non-playing staff who have been self-isolating should continue to do so.

"Our academy head of tactical performance Thomas Courts and other academy staff will lead the team for Saturday's game against Livingston.

"Furthermore, nine members of our squad are now self-isolating as a precaution due to having close contact with medical staff at the HPC (high-performance centre) at [the University of] St Andrews."
