STEVEN GERRARD has reminded his Rangers squad of their Covid rule responsibilities after warnings regarding players coming together to celebrate goals this week.

Premiership stars have been urged not to celebrate in groups in the aftermath of goals or at the end of matches in an attempt to minimise the spread of Coronavirus throughout the country.

Gerrard's side make the trip to Motherwell on Sunday aiming to continue their unbeaten start to the league campaign and move a step closer to the title after extending their lead over Celtic to 21 points last weekend.

And the Ibrox boss addressed his players ahead of training on Friday to ensure that they comply with regulations and advice from the football authorities and Government and play their part in keeping the game as safe as possible.

“I will do that in the coming hour or so," Gerrard said at his pre-match press conference on Friday morning. "We've got a meeting before we go out to train and it's something that's come through this week in terms of reminders of the protocols.

“Certainly goal celebrations, fist pumping and other things are among those reminders to follow the protocols. So again we'll do our best.

"It's something we'll need to adapt to and get better at because scoring a goal, the celebrations and the emotional side of the game is difficult to control and be perfect at.

“But we will do everything we can to follow the rules and everything we can to be at the forefront of that and try to set the standards. The plan is to reiterate those messages to the players this morning."
