[Sport]Steven Gerrard says the Scottish government's warning that it could pause the Premiership season after another breach of the coronavirus rules should serve as a "wake-up call".

The government made the threat after Celtic defender Boli Bolingoli travelled to Spain and then failed to quarantine - something his club only discovered after he played in their draw at Kilmarnock on Sunday.
It transpired the two that tested positive were part of a group of eight players that visited a bar after Aberdeen's opening-day defeat against Rangers. All eight had to self-isolate and later apologised.

 

 

Gerrard - who was part of a meeting with Scottish government officials on Monday where the safety protocols around coronavirus were again highlighted - said: "It is a wake-up call and a strong message from the government and also a reminder of what could happen if mistakes continue to happen.

"It is a concern and it is a worry because if mistakes continue to happen there's no doubt that the football season will be cancelled. That's not what I want or what anyone wants at Rangers.

"I don't think we're putting any extra measures in but what we are doing is going to remind everyone of our responsibility and our behaviours during this time.

"Up to now I think everyone's done extremely well here at Rangers. The medical department have been fantastic ever since lockdown really, keeping us updated of the situation.

"But it's just reminders really, to the players and to the staff, that we have to behave in the right way and keep doing the right things."
