SPFL launches disciplinary action against East Fife after Clyde call-off


Following a positive Covid-19 case in the Clyde squad, the Fifers decided it would be unsafe for their players to compete.
Boss Darren Young confirmed afterwards that some of his squad have partners who are pregnant while others were concerned for their employment should they be subject to a period of quarantine through the track and trace system.
The club has been roundly praised for its position.
