Hughes hit with six-match ban
Hibs boss Hughes saw red in Wednesday night's Scottish Premier League defeat at McDiarmid Park for his reaction to what he felt was a foul on defender Paul Hanlon in the build-up to Saints' fourth goal.[LNB]The SFA take into account managers' conduct over the previous two seasons when issuing touchline bans, and Hughes had two run-ins with officials during that period while in charge at Falkirk.[LNB]Should Hughes elect not to appeal his suspension - which includes cup games - it will kick in for the March 6 SPL game against Kilmarnock and will end after the scheduled April 3 clash with Celtic.[LNB]The SFA also confirmed striker Colin Nish will serve a three-match ban for his sending off in the same game.[LNB]Nish was dismissed for kicking out at Saints defender Michael Duberry and will sit out Saturday's trip to Motherwell.[LNB]He will also miss the SPL game against Kilmarnock and the March 20 Edinburgh derby.[LNB]However, due to the vagaries of the SFA's disciplinary rules, he will be available for next weekend's league game with St Johnstone and the Active Nation Scottish Cup quarter-final with Ross County on March 13.[LNB][LNB] Motherwell v Hibernian.
