The Gozagga Twitter account has published further details about the Ibrox Medical Miracles.
While clubs all across the world have regularly to make do with key players testing positive or having to self-isolate Steven Gerrard’s squad have been virtually unaffected.
The good fortune goes up a level with the news that seven Ibrox players have been caught and given Fixed Penalties for breaking the law to attend house parties. None of the players caught had played more than two first team matches, again despite breaking out of their football bubble none of the seven players returned a positive test.
Back in November Filip Helander tested positive after returning from international duty with the Swedish international side. Apparently NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde were called in and ruled that he hadn’t been in close contact with any team-mates throughout a training session.
In contrast Ryan Christie was ruled to be a close contact of Stuart Armstrong during Scotland duty and missed out on the October Glasgow Derby. Arsenal got the same verdict on Kieran Tierney but played the defender against Manchester City while Christie self-isolated.
Since Saturday there has been multiple images and videos of players celebrating with fans, swapping scarves, car sharing and boozing. So far, no action has been taken by Police Scotland, the SFA, SPFL or NHSGC.
Ibrox starlets Ross and Robbie McCrorie both tested positive on Scotland duty, fortunately both are out on loan this season.
Filip Helander had a Covid test on 27 November which he failed.
He trained that day in close contact to his teammates (see picture)
Nothing really to see here as exemption is made for sport stars on the field of play or training but keep reading the thread… pic.twitter.com/zBGUnhfbKV

Screen grabs from the official @RangersFC website for those questioning the dates of the photos.
Maybe someone can explain why a video of the training prep for the following weekends game against Falkirk has been removed from YouTube? pic.twitter.com/QdPOOzuuQz

GCC T&P visited Rangers Training Ground and were assured that off the pitch players on that day adhered to strict Social Distance protocols. This picture was taken on that day, shared on Rangers social media and now removed.
Now a matter of fact @RangersFC lied to Test & Protect pic.twitter.com/ysI6dxMcHZ

We are supposed to believe that these same players and this club followed all protocols and did not deceive NHS GCC re close contacts… https://t.co/xK6Ec6RDKO
