St Mirren informed the Scottish Professional Football League they only had 12 registered players who were fit, four of whom were goalkeepers.

"Due to a number of positive tests for COVID-19 amongst their playing squad and coaching staff, they have only 12 registered fit players," the SPFL said in a statement.

"As a result, St Mirren are unable to fulfil today's fixture."
