Rangers coaches Tom Culshaw and Michael Beale have been hit with an SFA charge for their respective red cards in the matches against Hibs and Celtic.
Against Hibs back in December, Culshaw was sent to the stands for his reaction to the Hibs bench after Ryan Porteous lunged into a vicious challenge on Borna Barisic.
Porteous saw red and so did Culshaw after being outraged by the Hibs bench’s reaction to the incident.
Hibernian coach John Potter has also had a charge brought against his name for the role in the incident.
Michael Beale also saw red for his reaction at the end of the match against Celtic at Parkhead following Alfredo Morelos’ dismissal for a second yellow card.
The former Liverpool and Chelsea coach reacted to the Celtic bench and was sent packing by card-happy referee Kevin Clancy.
Both have been charged by the SFA under Disciplinary Rule 203 – No member of Team Staff shall commit Misconduct at a match.
Both Rangers and Hibs have also been charged, with Rangers receiving an additional charge for the incident at Celtic Park.
This is under Disciplinary Rule 204 – All Clubs and recognised football bodies shall procure that its officials, Team Staff, employees and players conduct themselves in an orderly fashion at all times during and/or after a match.
Both Tom Culshaw and Michael Beale are looking at touchline bans whilst Rangers could be fined up to £20,000 for the incidents.
The principal hearing date for all cases has been set for Thursday 6th of February 2020.
The news also comes after the SFA confirmed to Rangers News that Alfredo Morelos received a third yellow card for his “game-over” gesture to Celtic fans.
This means he will receive no further punishment for the incident.
