Derek McInnes receives four-match touchline ban from SFA

Derek McInnes has been banned from the touchline for his first three domestic games as Rangers manager, due to comments made while coaching Hearts. The Scottish FA imposed a four-match ban—one match is suspended—for criticizing a penalty decision by match officials in a match against Celtic. McInnes is set to miss his first competitive game with Rangers at Dundee United on July 31. Rangers plan to appeal the decision, arguing that McInnes's comments were not intended as an attack on match officials. The ban could extend if McInnes breaches the same rules again this season.
