Robbie Neilson accepts three-match ban after Rangers red card
The Hearts boss will sit in the stand for their next three games
Hearts manager Robbie Neilson has accepted a touchline ban following his red card against Rangers at Ibrox.
He was given his marching orders after two quick yellow cards towards the end of their 1-1 draw on Saturday.
The Tynecastle boss has accepted a one-game ban offered to him by Scottish FA - but that has also triggered a suspended two-game ban from last season.
He will now sit in the stand for matches against Dundee, St Johnstone and Aberdeen.
A Hearts statement said: "Robbie Neilson has accepted a misconduct charge from the Scottish FA.
"The manager was issued with a Notice of Complaint after receiving two yellow cards, and a subsequent red card, during Hearts’ 1-1 draw with Rangers at Ibrox last Saturday.
"Accepting the offer of a one-match suspension, he will be absent from the dugout for this weekend’s cinch Premiership match against Dundee.
"Due to a suspended two-match ban from last season, Robbie will miss a further two first-team games, taking his total suspension to three consecutive matches."
