Kilmarnock and Falkirk were fined £5,000 each, with the former having picked up 102 yellow and four red cards. Killie had been warned about their record in January. Falkirk were punished for receiving 89 yellow and eight red cards last season. Hamilton and Inverness were both issued with warnings. on Wednesday, it was revealed that Hearts had been fined a record £50,000, the fifth straight season they have been punished for poor discipline. They must pay £40,000 immediately, with £10,000 suspended until January, which will be due if there is no noticeable improvement in the club's record. The SFA fined 25 teams in total, with 19 receiving warnings. Celtic and St Mirren were among 13 clubs commended for displaying a satisfactory standard of discipline during the season.
