New Rangers manager Derek McInnes gets four-match ban for Celtic penalty remarks
Then-Hearts boss railed at ‘disgusting’ VAR decision
SFA punishment means ban for start of new season
The new Rangers manager Derek McInnes is poised to begin the season in the stands after being handed a four-match ban for his comments on Celtic’s controversial penalty at Motherwell last season.
The then-Hearts manager described the VAR decision to give Celtic a stoppage-time spot-kick – which proved crucial in the Scottish Premiership title race – as “disgusting”. On Wednesday the Scottish Football Association announced McInnes would receive a four-match ban, with one suspended until the end of the season.
