McInnes set for appeal hearing ahead of Old Firm match
Summary

Derek McInnes, Rangers manager, may watch his first Old Firm match from the stands. A hearing for his appeal against a four-match touchline ban is scheduled for 31 August. The ban stems from comments he made regarding a controversial penalty awarded to Celtic last season when he was managing Hearts. Following the penalty incident, which occurred in May, McInnes expressed his disagreement with the decision. If the ban is upheld, he will miss the matches against Falkirk (2 September), Motherwell (5 September), and Celtic (13 September) in the League Cup quarter-finals.
