The SFA said in a statement on Tuesday that the five players would be banned for six games - four matches immediately and two suspended until the end of the 2020-21 season.
The players have been fined by the club, who contacted the Scottish FA and the government over the incident.
It is not the first time Rangers players have been punished over COVID-19 protocol breaches, with winger Jordan Jones and defender George Edmundson each banned for seven games in November after they attended a private gathering.
Earlier this month, Rangers sealed their first league title since 2011.
