Some Ibrox stars allegedly attended a house party at the weekend and Rangers are investigating the situation.
Yesterday Stuart McCall blasted the club's alleged rule breakers and branded them the 'thickest people on the planet' if they have indeed broken strict protocols.
And now, Rangers legend Brian Laudrup has had his say.
Speaking to the Daily Mail, he said: "I can only imagine how Steven Gerrard felt when he heard about the allegations of Covid breaches by players that have led to an internal investigation at Rangers.
"Exasperated would probably be one word. And perhaps a mild one. Three months after the situation with Jordan Jones and George Edmundson, it seems almost unthinkable there could be a similar situation involving other members of the squad.
"Clearly, it's not how Gerrard would have envisaged starting such a big week in the season. Thursday's Europa League last-32 first leg against Royal Antwerp is a huge game. One that could provide a platform to make this season even more unforgettable.
"I don't think this investigation will provide a distraction from that task. Gerrard won't allow that to happen and he has been excellent at keeping the focus on the next game throughout the campaign.
"Obviously, though, there would be real disappointment on his part if it emerged there had, indeed, been breaches. That would apply regardless of the age and experience of the players alleged to have attended a house party.
"How could the message not get through after Jones and Edmundson? Those two players were suspended by the club, banned by the SFA and now both are playing their football on loan elsewhere. The consequences of not following the rules are clear.
"You cannot say that players across the country haven't been warned. We had the Aberdeen Eight and Boli Bolingoli even before the Jones and Edmundson situation. Everyone knows exactly what will happen if they get into those situations.

"It's stupidity. You can't make excuses if it is proved there was a breach.
"I think Gerrard will use this latest situation as a reminder to his players. They won't say it in the media but they have almost delivered title No55.
"They know they are very close to the ultimate aim in Scotland, with a chance to do something special in Europe as well. It would be crazy to take the foot off the gas or let anything disrupt their progress on either front."
