Touchline ban reduced for Rangers manager McInnes
Rangers manager Derek McInnes has a touchline ban reduced to two games, with two suspended, following an appeal against punishment for comments made on a last-gasp Celtic penalty.
Rangers manager Derek McInnes' touchline ban has been reduced from four games to two, with one additional game suspended, after an appeal against his punishment for controversial comments made following a Celtic penalty in a television interview. The 55-year-old will be present for the team's upcoming matches, including the fixture against Falkirk on Wednesday and Motherwell on Saturday.
McInnes' ban will resume on September 9th when Rangers face St Mirren at Ibrox. The initial ban, issued in July, stemmed from remarks McInnes made about a late penalty awarded to Celtic in a match against Motherwell in May.
