Isn't this the second time this season that some Rangers players have been caught at a house party?

Edmunson and Jones were caught and got a 7 match suspension? Both were shipped out on loan in January

Cheers.





I actually think that if The Rangers are seen to be handling this correctly in way of player punishments (same as the last time), then nothing much will come from it.

There's no evidence that the club have done anything wrong, e.g. breaking any kind of Covid protocols.

Yes, 2 player fined and suspended for breaches. SFA should have added a suspended points deduction on The Rangers at the same time. That would have fixed the problem for Sevco, at least. Fining players a few hundred quid is no deterrent whatsoever - as we are seeing.

I'm not really seeing the problem here, those caught should be fined in line with what i'd be fined had i broken the rules.

Elite sport is being played to help with the moral of the country, footballers are no different to the rest of us, and there will be the odd player who is out of line.

Fine them as the law states, and ban them like others have been by the football authorities.

Job done.

Agreed.

Null and voiding the championship seems sensible as well though. Really got to send a message out here.

Exactly right! hundreds, probably thousands have been caught breaking the rules in this pandemic. We don't close down building sites, tv studios or supermarkets because an employee has been irresponsible. Football should be no different.

I'd say elite sports pros ARE different to the rest of us. They are allowed to operate in an exclusive bubble in which they are regularly tested to enable them to continue with their profession pretty much as normal (just without the crowds). The rest of us are mostly stuck at home, often trying to fit home schooling around work - or worse, fretting about having been made unemployed during this pandemic. By that measure I think footballers should be held to higher standards and Sturgeon is right to put the boot into them.

You just need to look at the animosity towards the top tennis players (not the also-rans) being flown in privately for the Australian Open and 'isolating' in luxury training facilities (while many Australians are still banned from entering the country) to see how out of touch sports professionals can quickly become.

I think a points deduction would be a bit unfair on The Rangers...



...but I'd be happy enough if that was the outcome.

[The Pointer]

There are a few over-reactions on here. Footballers aren't generally known for being the sharpest knives in the drawer but they all know what the possible sanctions will be if caught. Their club should treat them fairly harshly to set, in this case another, example but this should amount to fines and suspensions. The SPFL will also wade in with some form of punishment as a precedent has already been set.

My daughter and her cousins and friends are all having a hard time of it, but rules are rules and this generation are for the first time in their lives realising that 'no' means 'no'. Footballers are at least able to go out and 'socialise' at their work.

I wonder if this will be the red card from Sturgeon after the Celtic Dubai fiasco.

It’s almost exactly the same number of games (on less) and even bigger gap at the top compared to last season. Null and void for premier league would be unlikely.

However the championship averaged only 14 out of 27 games (an already reduced season) so that would be null and void I think.Imagine the seethe🤣🤣🤣

Why should it be? Have they closed down the business activity of everyone caught breaking the rules?

Because it's Sevco.

Maybe not but she did state after the Celtic fiasco that she was considering extending the closure of the grounds to supporters as a punishment for the law once again being ignored!

She was very angry and will be doing her nut if this rumour is true. Then we will have to wait and see out fate when we have done anything to deserve that.

Cruel i know but some of them just dont seem to understand just what is at stake here!

[hibee-boys]

The stupidity, or simple lack is respect, of these footballers is astounding.

[Lendo]

Heard from a Rangers pal that 3 or 4 youth players also involved. Gerrard will be doing his nut in at all of this. Love it.

Any decent players being freed I wonder?

You'd have to wonder about the intelligence of these guys. SG will be doing his nut as you say. Imagine risking your teams prospects and your own career for a few beers?

As much as I agree I’m passed the stage of judging anyone for it now.

I’m a boring old ******* now and rarely went out anyway and it’s driving me mad, I can’t imagine what it’s like just now for those in their early 20’s, even high profile footballers.

I’m no hun sympathiser and I’d love it if they get the book thrown at them, on a human level, I feel sorry for all young people now though.

I don't. I have never had one of my grandchildren into my house since he was born. Can't go to visit my mum. Can't socialise. We all have to make sacrifices and offering excuses doesn't help.

Until this has stopped spreading we can't live a normal life. The more people that break the rules, the longer lockdown will continue.

What will annoy me about this is the tims shouting for N&V! Throwing ***** at each other.

Feel sorry for youngsters who are missing out on their education, stuck indoors tied to their tablets/phones as a way of communicating with friends. Feel sorry for youngsters who are struggling to find employment following leaving school or higher education. I don’t have a single ounce of sympathy for these 2, who have been granted dispensation to continue training and playing the sport they love on the premise that they abide by very simple rules. There has been numerous footballers caught flouting the rules, these lads obviously couldn’t care less, I hope they are sacked in the morning.

[Bishop Hibee]

It's especially crap for young folk just now but when your employed in such a high profile profession then you've got to screw the nut. I suspect those involved will be sacked by the huns but I can't see much else happening apart from the media having a field day.

They’ll only get sacked if they’re crap.
