    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?

    A custiodal sentence is way over the top and I can only assume that you haven't been in prison? They are young laddies who have been stupid and made a huge error but nothing that should see them locked up with all sorts of nut jobs. You are also punishing their whole families who would also suffer seeing there kids boyfriends etc locked up. How long do you think you they should get?

    Although I dont agree 100% with a custodial sentence , I am getting absolutely f,n fed up hearing error of judgement as an excuse. It´s not a bloody error of judgement, they have known the rules for almost a year, we have all known the rules (or tried to) it is about time those ********s that blatantly break the rules are hammered. Who knows maybe a custodial sentence of a couple of days and a 1000 quid fine for partying may be a deterrent.

    I agree and it is getting beyond a joke bud but prison isn't the answer for young laddies like them who have probably have no previous convictions etc. They could be told to do community service or something along these lines. Prison is not a nice place and neither it should be but the jails are bursting at the seems as it is and it would cost a few quid to lock them up for a couple of days and wouldn't achieve much more than media interest

    Agree, prison's not there answer.

    2 weeks in a quarantine hotel and a suspended 25 point deduction from The Rangers is the way to go

    There's an option bud or running errands etc for people who still have to self isolate. Giving them fines even massive amounts of money isn't an issue or deterrent because no doubt they will still be on a very good wage and jail for me is not the answer either but community service would make them think about what they have done along with the sack

    A few weeks ago I would’ve been over the moon with null and void to stop rangers winning the title but with us being in pole position for third and the potential European benefits, null and void would be a disaster for us. Potentially cost £3/4 million in revenue.

    Null and void will never happen. Scotland has spots in next seasons European competitions no matter what happens and if not on current league positions how else would they be allocated?

    We are though the worst part of this winters pandemic and the league will be finished IMO.

    Hammer the individual clubs and players with large fines. (Not that they can’t afford it easily).

    Genuine question.......


    If the league was deemed null and void ( not that I think it would be )who would get the European places????

    My thought process is The rangers wouldn’t get the league title so what would happen to European places??? Would we use last years placing cause if we used this years placing that means you’d have to give the Title to the Huns?

    Id hate to think we’ve actually got a chance of group stage football and it would be taken away
    from us........

    I’m sure someone will know, however as we all do know the SFA ain’t the sharpest tool in the box and this should ( in my mind t least ) have been discussed before the start of
    the season.

    This season will now always have an asterisk* next to it.

    Absolutely superb. The self styled ‘most successful club in the world’ still yet to win a major trophy

    Patterson and Bassey caught at a house party and fined by the police apparently.

    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.

    How about getting them to lie on the roof of the Easter Road stands naked, with chips superglued to their nether regions....this would act as a deterrent to others thinking of breaking the rules and would go some way to solving the seagull problem at ER when we all get back into stadiums !!

    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.

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



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

    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.

    Agreed.

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

    Ultimately if the only consequence is being fined, then it just makes something illegal for poor people.

    That’s the sort of creative thinking we need.

    It’s also the same with prison sentences. The better the lawyer you have, the better result you’re getting.

    Even worse will be the apology they make, f***ing sick of people saying sorry when they get caught breaking the rules, just don't break them in the first place.

    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.
    Agreed its a tough time for the young dudes & dudettes - even if their huns

    Just spoken to a rangers fan i know, his take on it is that there were 4 rangers players involved and it was 4 of the players and their gf's in a house to watch the Boxing and they ordered takeaway and it was the delivery driver who has 'grassed' them up.

    Even although the police have mentioned 10 people the above is still supposedly factual and correct 😁

    In the meantime im not going round to friends houses for food and sporting events
