Image for Gerrard recalls three Covidiots for Europa League tie

Calvin Bassey, Bongani Zungu and Nathan Patterson are on the bench at Ibrox tonight just eight days after being called out by Steven Gerrard.

That trio were among five players caught attending a house party in the early hours of February 14 and were issued with Fixed Penalties by Police Scotland.

Incredibly there has been no comment or charges raised by the SFA despite Aberdeen and Celtic having matches postponed earlier in the season after breaches of protocol.

Back in November Jordan Jones and George Edmundson were charged by the SFA two days after getting Fixed Penalties but 12 days after Patterson and Bassey were fined they are back in the fold for a Europa League tie.

Tonight’s match is under UEFA regulations but highlights the apparent lack of interest from the SFA when it comes to applying rules to clubs from Ibrox.

After being charged by the SFA Jones and Edmundson were given seven match domestic suspensions.
