The Scottish FA today announced that Southampton player Stuart Armstrong has returned a positive test for COVID-19 while on international dtuy, and the Lothian Health Protection Team in Scotland have identified Arsenal's Kieran Tierney and Celtic's Ryan Christie - along with one physiotherapist and one masseur - as close contacts of Armstrong, advising all to self-isolate for 14 days as of Tuesday.

That would keep all the players out of Scotland's Euro 2020 play-off semi-final against Israel at Hampden Park on Thursday night and the Nations League matches against Slovakia and Czech Republic.
