Neil Lennon gave his players two days off following the opening day league win over Hamilton but warned players they were not to leave Glasgow under no circumstances.
Bolingoli then travelled to Marbella to meet a mystery woman before returning to Glasgow.
And he then failed to self isolate for 14 days before featuring in the Hoops’ 1-1 draw with Kilmarnock.
It led to the postponement of Celtic’s scheduled matches against St Mirren and Aberdeen with First Minister Nicola Sturgeon warning football was on a yellow card.
The SFA and SPFL launched a disciplinary case against Bolingoli with a hearing set for today.
And the defender has finally learned his fate after the governing body hit him with a five-game ban with two of those suspended.
The Belgian’s Hoops future remains uncertain after boss Lennon claimed he found it difficult to see him welcomed back into the dressing room.
He said: “We made it on no uncertain terms that no one could travel. Certainly not leave the country anyway.
“And he’s blatantly disregarded my instructions, my medical team’s instructions, the club’s instructions and put everything in jeopardy.
“It will be very difficult to imagine him being welcomed back into the dressing room in the future.
“This is a rogue who has gone off tangent and has done something very very selfish. We have been completely oblivious to this. I’m absolutely livid it’s a total betrayal of our trust.”
