MOTHERWELL manager Graham Alexander has been handed a two-game touchline ban.
The Scottish FA have punished the ex-Scotland international following the Steelmen's recent game with Hibs, where he was sent off.
An additional one-match ban has been suspended until the end of the current season.
This is because it's not the Fir Park Boss' first offence.
The announcement means Alexander will miss this weekend's home game against Aberdeen, as he takes his spot in the stands. He will then miss their following game which is away to Rangers.
He was sent off by referee Andrew Dallas during the 0-0 draw versus Hibs on January 26.
A club statement reads: "Graham Alexander has been given a two-game touchline ban.
"Our manager has been issued with a suspension by the Scottish FA after being sent off in our recent match with Hibernian.
"An additional one-match ban has been suspended until the end of the current season.
"Alexander will be absent from the touchline now for our next two cinch Premiership matches with Aberdeen and Rangers."
