The SPFL has begun disciplinary action against Aberdeen and Celtic for alleged breaches of Covid-19 protocol, reports BBC Sport.

Celtic defender Boli Bolingoli and the eight Aberdeen players who broke lockdown have been issued with two Scottish FA charges - for bringing football into disrepute and failing to comply with the laws of the game.

Bolingoli played on Sunday despite not quarantining after a trip to Spain.

Aberdeen have "severely reprimanded and fined heavily" their eight players.

Two of them tested positive for Covid-19, and the six others also had to self-isolate, after a visit to a city-centre bar.

A Scottish FA hearing date has been set for 28 August for the nine players.
