Screen captures have emerged of a story deleted by the Daily Record featuring several of Steven Gerrard’s stars enjoying a house party following Saturday’s Ibrox booze-up after the win over Aberdeen.
The story is easily date-stamped by Connor Goldson wearing the SPFL title medal he picked up on Saturday. A video clip from the story has appeared on Twitter showing Tav singing in the company of a middle-aged woman that is highly unlikely to be in his bubble. Sarah Vesty was the reporter.
The party appears to have been staged in Stirlingshire which like Glasgow was in Tier 3 at the time- banning non-essential travel and in-doors mixing between different households. Scotland hopeful Nathan Patterson also appears in the images.

The Ibrox club appear to have been virtually immune from the pandemic with only Filip Helander testing positive during the season with his test result surfacing with the Swedish FA. Loan stars Ross and Robbie McCrorie tested positive on duty with the Scotland u-21 side.
Back in November Jordan Jones and George Edmondson were issued with Fixed Penalties after attending a House Party on the day of Scott Arfield’s birthday. The identity of the other partygoers has never emerged.
In February Patterson and four team mates were given Fixed Penalties for getting caught at a House Party. More than two months later, once Tav had recovered from injury the SFA banned the five stars for four matches.
Following a win over St Mirren at the start of March a number of players ran to an Ibrox gate to celebrate with fans and pick up scarves and flags. Steven Gerrard later roared out the Dressing Room window at fans gathered illegally. The following day at Murray Park boozed up players celebrated in front of fans then car shared.
No action was taken by the SFA or SPFL. Earlier in the season St Mirren and Kilmarnock were fined for not ensuring social distancing.
Within 48 hours of news emerging that Boli Bolingoli had flown back from Spain without self-isolating two Celtic matches were postponed. Eighteen days after the story broke the player was suspended for three matches.
