Scottish game off after 2 players who went to bar get virus

The head of the Scottish government said on Friday she was ''furious'' two Aberdeen players who later tested positive for the coronavirus had visited a pub, and warned the Scottish Premiership was being risked. Saturday's match between Aberdeen and St. Johnstone has been postponed following Scottish Government intervention after eight Aberdeen players were told to self-isolate on Thursday. Scotland First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said the players ''blatantly broke the rules'' agreed to between the government and football authorities to allow the new season to begin last weekend during the pandemic.
