Gabriel Agbonlahor urged Steven Gerrard to show leniency towards Rangers players accused of breaking lockdown rules
This is according to ex-England striker Gabby Agbonlahor, speaking exclusively after Football Insider announced at 7 p.m. on Sunday that police caught four Rangers players in breach of Covid-19 guidelines by attending a party
Jordan Jones and George Edmundson were sanctioned by Rangers in November for a similar offense – both players left the club on loan in January
Sources from Ibrox told Football Insider that senior stars tore up the disbelievers and made it clear they strayed from the line
Fans were almost unanimous in calling for the club to get rid of the players involved, with Football Insider’s Facebook pages besieged by angry bears
Former pro Agbonlahor has a surprisingly different take on the majority of fans, as well as other angry pundits
He says the quartet should be punished but Gerrard should take into account their frustration with the current pandemic situation
He told Football Insider correspondent Adam Williams: “As a manager you will be judged by your decisions and your thoroughness
“I think he will bring in the players and say, ‘I understand that you are young and want to party’
“Obviously most kids would party on a Saturday night normally But these are weird, crazy times and at the end of the day they shouldn’t be doing that
“He might have to give them a harsh punishment or else it’ll look bad to him. I could see Gerrard fining them and giving them a suspension just to show other players can’t do it
Rangers are aware of a suspected incident which is under internal investigation We will not comment further imageTwittercom / XVRhHWzWpJ
“You have to show your leadership, but it’s tough These are young players who want to party and they need to be handled with care, but I’m sure they will learn from their punishment and never do it again more “
