"Both players breached covid regulations by attending a private gathering with others outside of their household.
"We can confirm that both players will be suspended pending an internal investigation.
"On the instruction of Dr Mark Waller, the players will also self-isolate for 14 days."
Rangers managing director Stewart Robertson said: "The chairman Douglas Park, Ross Wilson, Steven Gerrard and I discussed this matter as soon as it was brought to our attention.
"We are completely aligned in our action and the standards that are being set at Rangers.
"We will not tolerate behaviour that does not follow those standards and it is totally unacceptable for any of our players to be involved in anything that puts at risk the excellent protocols that have been put in place at Rangers."
