The club announced co-manager Lee Miller, who is also registered as a player with the Bairns, has started a fortnight of isolation.

A positive coronavirus case has been traced to a family member of the former Hearts, Dundee United and Middlesbrough striker, rendering him unavailable for the next 14 days.

The club confirmed: “Falkirk Football Club can confirm that co-manager Lee Miller is now in a period of 14 days isolation following a positive COVID-19 test in his family.

“We would like to stress that this is a purely precautionary measure and that the Club has followed all SPFL and Scottish Government COVID-19 guidelines and protocols.

“The Club would like to wish both Lee and his family all the best at this time.”

The protocols mean the Bairns are left with co-manager David McCracken holding the fort for the visit of East Fife in SPFL League One.
