Nathan Patterson, Bongani Zungu, Calvin Bassey, Dapo Mebude and Brian Kinnear hit the headlines back in February after they attended a party which was broken up by police.

The quintet were punished by Rangers and have now been suspended by the Scottish FA after being cited.

The players will serve four matches with the other two suspended until the end of the season.

Patterson has recently broken into the first-team with James Tavernier out injured, while Zungu and Bassey have been squad players.

Mebude has impressed on loan at Queen of the South, while Kinnear is a youth team goalkeeper.

It is the second time Rangers players have been hit with suspensions for a Covid-19 breach.

George Edmundson and Jordan Jones were found to have attended a party and were hit with seven-game bans. Both are currently out on loan.
