Manager Mark McGhee will miss Dundee's clash with St Mirren later on Wednesday after testing positive for Covid-19.
The Dark Blues boss joins several players and staff in being forced to isolate amid a disruptive outbreak at Dens Park.
They were forced into a raft of changes for Saturday's battling draw at Hibs and will remain without a number of players for another crucial Premiership outing tonight.
McGhee was in the midst of serving a touchline ban and would have been in the stands again as his side host Saints.
The 64-year-old will now watch on from home but insists he's showing only mild symptoms.
McGhee said: “It’s disappointing that I will not be at tonight’s match but I have full faith in the coaching staff and players.”
“I’ll watch the match from the house and will have the same contact with the bench that I have had from the stand in recent weeks.”
“Thankfully, I’m fully vaccinated and feeling OK.”
Dundee sit bottom of the Premiership but can leapfrog St Johnstone with victory over the Buddies.
