Rangers: Derek McInnes faces touchline ban after criticising match officials while at Hearts

Derek McInnes faces being banned from the touchline in his opening domestic games as Rangers manager after being hit with a disciplinary charge over criticism of match officials.

McInnes has been cited by the Scottish Football Association compliance officer over remarks made in the wake of Motherwell's late defeat by Celtic in the penultimate fixture of last season.

The then Hearts boss had criticised the penalty decision which led to Celtic's match-winner with the last kick of the game. Hearts were in a closely-contested Scottish Premiership title race with Celtic at the time, which they eventually lost on the final day of the season at their title rivals.
