Kilmarnock & St Mirren appeal against Covid-19 breach verdict
- Published
St Mirren admitted to social distancing breaches around their League Cup tie with Queen of the South
Kilmarnock will join St Mirren in appealing after an SPFL tribunal awarded them 3-0 defeats amid a breach of Covid-19 regulations.
Both clubs infringed the SPFL's social distancing rules on buses and at meals, and players from St Mirren also shared cars to and from training.
Both admitted the violations and were fined £40,000, suspended until 30 June.
Motherwell were awarded two 3-0 wins when matches against both sides were called off in October.
Hamilton Academical were also given a 3-0 victory after their game with St Mirren was postponed.
The appeal will be heard by the Scottish FA's Judicial Panel Appellate Tribunal, with Kilmarnock understood to be contesting the severity of their punishment.
St Mirren offered no further comment.
However, when the verdict was announced last Thursday, the Paisley club insisted they "operated honestly throughout the whole process".
