Some Rangers fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to the ban on the Ibrox Covid Five being upheld.

As announced on Rangers’ official website, Nathan Patterson, Bongani Zungu, Calvin Bassey, Dapo Mebude and Brian Kinnear all have their bans upheld.

As reported by BBC Sport, the five Rangers players were all charged after attending an illegal house party back in February.

However, Rangers decided to appeal against the six-game ban on the players, but the SFA hearing has upheld the original decision.

It was always unlikely that the SFA would reduce the punishment they had initially given to the Rangers Covid Five.

However, Rangers making the appeal did allow right-back Patterson to play against Celtic in the Scottish Cup.

James Tavernier was injured in the build-up to the tie at Ibrox, and although the right-back eventually recovered full fitness, Patterson started the Old Firm derby.

Some Rangers fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to the SFA ban on the five Ibrox players being upheld.

While some Rangers fans feel that the punishment is strong, others believe that they did well to get the SFA hearing against the Scottish Cup tie against Celtic.
