STATEMENT FROM SPORTING DIRECTOR TONY ASGHAR RE: COVID-19

Following further dialogue with the Scottish FA and Tayside Health Board, Dundee United FC’s Sporting Director Tony Asghar confirmed some agreed action points.

“After further discussions with the Scottish FA and Tayside Health Board, we have been advised that our non-playing staff who have been self-isolating should continue to do so. 

“Our Academy Head of Tactical Performance Thomas Courts and other Academy staff will lead the team for Saturday’s game against Livingston.

“Furthermore, nine members of our squad are now self-isolating as a precaution due to having close contact with medical staff at the HPC at St Andrews.

“We are grateful for the cooperation and guidance of the SPFL, Scottish FA and Tayside Health Board in this matter and we now focus our attention on preparing for Saturday's fixture.”
