Rangers coach Michael Beale has been given a five-match ban by the Scottish FA over an incident in the Glasgow derby in December.

As reported by the Daily Record, he was involved in a disagreement with Celtic assistant manager John Kennedy in the home team’s technical area at Parkhead and, after the pair clashed, the ‘Gers man was dismissed by referee Kevin Clancy. Beale has been hit with a five-match suspension by the SFA, serving three of those immediately and two more at the end of the season.

The Daily Record also reported that Rangers’ technical director Tom Culshaw has been given a two-match suspension by the SFA over a confrontation during the 3-0 win at Hibernian in December, with one game to be served immediately and the other suspended to a later date. Hibs assistant manager John Potter, who was also involved in the incident, avoided a ban and was merely censured.

After the various punishments were confirmed, Rangers-focused Twitter account @4ladshadadream aired their displeasure over the sentences handed out.

These ‘Gers fans on Twitter were also unhappy about the disciplinary action taken by the SFA:
