Blackburn manager Graeme Souness has been handed a three-match touchline ban by the Football Association.
The Rovers boss has also been fined stg£15,000 after being sent off by referee Steve Bennett during Rovers' 2-2 draw with Liverpool at Ewood Park on August 28th.
The ban will see the Scot sent to the stands for games against Walsall in the Worthington Cup, and Southampton and Everton in the Premiership but it will not apply to the home leg against Celtic in the UEFA Cup on November 14th.
Souness protested over a hefty aerial challenge from Emile Heskey on Nils-Eric Johansson, and said at the time: "I was sent off for the first time in a long time. My sending-off was probably the only thing the ref got right."
