Rangers have stripped Barry Ferguson of the captaincy and dropped the midfielder and keeper Allan McGregor after breaching Scotland discipline.
The pair were sent home from training on Friday and will not face Falkirk.
Rangers manager Walter Smith said he decided to take action after V-signs made by the players while sitting on the bench against Iceland on Wednesday.
They had been dropped by Scotland boss George Burley after a drinking session after Saturday's defeat by Netherlands.
Now both men have been ordered by Smith to report to Rangers' training ground at Murray Park on Friday for talks with the club's chief executive, Martin Bain.
A further statement will then be issued by the club.
The day after Scotland's 2-1 win over Iceland, Scottish FA chief executive Gordon Smith and manager George Burley suggested that the matter was now closed.
However, SFA president George Peat has since indicated that he wants a further investigation of the events.
He has demanded that Smith and Burley file a report on the incidents to the parent body's board meeting on Thursday.
And Rangers, managed by former Scotland boss Walter Smith, have taken their own disciplinary action.
Smith addressed a lunchtime media conference ahead of Sunday's Scottish Premier League match and said that defender David Weir would captain the side for the rest of the season.
He said Ferguson and McGregor had embarrassed themselves with their gestures at Hampden.

Rangers' Barry Ferguson and Allan McGregor have been told they will never play for Scotland again.
The Scottish FA made the announcement because of a weekend drinking session after defeat by Netherlands and V-signs made on the bench against Iceland.
Rangers had earlier stripped Ferguson of the team captaincy and suspended the midfielder and goalkeeper McGregor for two weeks without pay.
Veteran defender David Weir has been named the new Rangers captain.
Wow, that is setting a good example as captain Barry, McGregor is still bad as the senior goalkeeper, especially seeing as he was getting his chance after Gordon was dropped.
Both idiots.

It's pretty much the same as a middle finger here, basically a 'fuck you.'
Can't say I'm that bothered about Ferguson, though he is a decent player. McGregor is a really good keeper though so that's a bigger loss for us imo. Sounds a bit harsh to me, but they were stupid so yeah...
