Joey Barton will not be at Ibrox for training on Monday, and is unlikely to play for Rangers again, according to reports.
The former England midfielder was due to return to training earlier this week after serving a month-long club suspension after a bust-up with boss Mark Warburton and team-mate Andy Halliday.
But Rangers announced on Sunday they had told him to stay away from both Ibrox and their Auchenhowie training base for another seven days after launching a ''formal disciplinary procedure''.
And according to BBC Scotland he will not return to the club for training and will likely never play for the Ibrox side again after reportedly being asked to attend a club hearing this week and refusing.
The 34-year-old has also been charged with placing 44 bets on games between July 1 and September 15 this year.
SFA rules ban players from betting on any football match, anywhere in the world.
It is understood Barton did not bet on any games involving Rangers - although he reportedly placed money on Celtic to lose heavily in their Champions League clash in Barcelona, a match the Hoops lost 7-0.
