Rangers midfielder Ian Black has been handed an immediate three-match ban - with a further seven games suspended until the end of the season - for breaching rules on gambling.

The 28-year has also been fined £7,500 by the Scottish Football Association following a hearing at Hampden on Thursday.

The sanctions were handed down after Black admitted charges of betting on three football matches on his then-registered club not to win and betting on a further 10 football matches that involved his own club.

He also received a warning over bets on a further 147 football matches.
