RANGERS pair George Edmundson and Jordan Jones have each been handed seven-match bans after breaching lockdown restrictions.
The Scottish FA charged the two players earlier this month after they attended a house party, with the Ibrox club announing that the duo would be suspended while they carry out an internal investigation.
Edmundson and Jones have both been found guilty of breaching disciplinary rules 24 (failure to comply with the SFA Articles of Association) and 77 (not acting in the best interests of association football).
The two players have been hit with seven-game suspensions as a result, meaning they will play no part in the upcoming games against Aberdeen, Falkirk, Ross County, Dundee United, Motherwell, St Johnstone or Hibernian.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
