Crusaders boss Stephen Baxter has been banned for six games after disciplinary issues during his side's game with Glentoran earlier in the month.

The Irish FA's Disciplinary Committee imposed a four-match suspension for "unsporting conduct towards a match official,"

Baxter also received an automatic two-match ban after being shown a red card during the game on January 21st for "using offensive, insulting or abusive language and/or gestures."

The club which were fined £100, have launched an appeal.

Elsewhere, Glentoran were charged by the committee with a breach of Article 33 of the Irish FA’s Disciplinary Code (spectator misconduct) and sanctioned with a £500 fine in relation to their game with Cliftonville at Solitude on January 17th.
