Rangers Boss Derek McInnes Sees Touchline Ban Reduced to Two Games
The Scottish FA upheld two matches of McInnes’ ban after Rangers appealed, leaving him in the stands for fixtures against Falkirk and Motherwell.
- On Monday, the SFA reduced Rangers manager Derek McInnes's four-match touchline ban to two matches, with two suspended until the end of season 2026/27 pending further breaches of Disciplinary Rule 72.
- The SFA sanctioned McInnes for comments made while managing Hearts in May, when he described a late penalty awarded to Celtic as "disgusting" and claimed "it feels like us against everybody," breaching Disciplinary Rule 72.
- Rangers argued the remarks were "directed at the decision, rather than representing any broader criticism of officials," while McInnes said, "I've never wanted to make it personal. For me, the decision was wrong."
- McInnes will serve his two-match suspension from the stands during Wednesday's visit to Falkirk and Saturday's home match against Motherwell, returning to the dugout for the league match against Mirren on September 9.
- The manager will be free to take his place in the dugout for his first Old Firm match as Rangers boss against Celtic in the Premier Sports Cup quarter-final on Sunday, September 13.
