Derek McInnes, Rangers and the Scottish FA
31 August 2026
Rangers manager Derek McInnes has had his touchline suspension reduced on appeal to two matches, with another two suspended. He will miss games against Falkirk and Motherwell before returning to the dugout for the rescheduled St Mirren fixture.
The original punishment was four matches with one suspended and related to comments McInnes made while Hearts manager about a late Celtic penalty. Rangers argued his criticism targeted the decision itself rather than representing broader criticism of match officials.
