Strachan sees ban halved

Celtic manager Gordon Strachan has seen his four-match touchline ban halved on appeal.

Strachan was hit with the punishment by a Scottish Football Association's disciplinary committee last month after they found him guilty of "unacceptable conduct" after being sent to the stands following a row with a steward at Aberdeen in August.

The Bhoys boss hoped to have the ban completely overturned at an appeal hearing on Tuesday, but only succeeding in halving the punishment.

He will now watch Wednesday's SPL game at Celtic Park against Inverness Caledonian Thistle and Saturday's match at Easter Road against Hibernian from the stands.
