Jefferies braced for ban

Hearts manager Jim Jefferies is facing a touchline ban after being sent to the stand during his side's 3-0 defeat at Celtic. Jefferies, banished from the dugout in the first half by referee Willie Collum, was seething that Daryl Murphy had not been flagged offside when he ran through to set up James Forrest's opener for Celtic. Shaun Maloney and substitute Patrick McCourt wrapped up the scoring. The Jambos' boss also claimed the visitors were denied a penalty at 2-0 down when Celtic defender Emilio Izaguirre clashed with David Templeton. Jefferies has reported Collum after claiming that the referee spoke to him "like a two-year-old" at the interval. The former Killie boss said: "My record is good but I will probably get banned."
