Jason Leitch insists he can't get his head around the five Rangers players who breached Covid rules.
Nathan Patterson, Bongani Zungu, Calvin Bassey, Dapo Mebude and Brian Kinnear were all caught attending a party as they were fined and omitted from the Ibrox squad.
It's one of a long list of examples of players flouting lockdown rules that has portrayed Scottish football in a bad light.
It's also the second incident for Rangers this season after George Edmundson and Jordan Jones were both handed seven-game bans for a similar fact.
And the national clinical director is critical of the five culprits and admits he can't even fathom the thinking behind their decision.
Leitch told the BBC's Off the Ball: "I think that story from Rangers this week is another indication of our frustration.
"It goes to the house party point, these are individuals who ... let's remember whenever there's a breach the first thing you're doing is putting yourself at risk.
"The first question I asked when I was told of that breach was, 'is everybody healthy?'
"And that's the first question I've asked in all the other breaches in football that have happened over the last few months, whichever club it was.
"So, is everybody healthy, does anybody need healthcare, do they need a hospital, do they need a test, etc.
"Now, the next question is, 'who else have they put at risk?' So let's think about everybody in that house, who they live with, who they've met since, and that's what contact tracing does.
"You get to big numbers pretty quickly. Whether it's a house party with footballers, or a call centre with a positive case.
"And then you get to the wider population measure that we've just decided. And I think it's a bad example, and I think sportspeople should set a good example. Just like radio hosts!
"But we should all try our best to the prevalence down and get society back to normal. My head cannot understand why those guys did what they did."
