We can confirm that the SPFL Board has accepted our application to postpone our forthcoming away fixtures at Morton (on 26th December) and Raith Rovers (29th December). This is as a result of a Covid outbreak amongst the squad and coaching staff. Our squad have returned several positive Covid tests this week, up to this morning, as well as one last week who is still in isolation. Combined with the need for some close contacts to isolate and the previously existing injury list we were left with 7 or 8 fit players over the age of 18 ahead of these scheduled games. We are grateful to the SPFL and our opponents for their assistance and understanding of the situation.

We would hope and expect as isolations end towards the end of next week we should be able to fulfill the Hamilton fixture scheduled for January 2nd at Palmerston unless there are further positives in the week ahead.

We would like to wish all Queen of the South supporters a very Merry Christmas. Stay safe.
