New Hibs’ manager Terry Butcher has been banned from the dugout for his first match in charge at St Mirren Park on Saturday.
The former England captain was also fined £1000 by the SFA for “acting in an aggressive manner towards players of the opposing team during former club Inverness CT’s League Cup win over Dundee United earlier this season.
Butcher was sent from his technical area, along with Dundee United coach and former Hibs player Darren Jackson, by referee Kevin Clancy for his part in a disturbance following a red card for United forward Nadir Ciftci.
Ironically, Butcher normally prefers to sit in the stand during games whilst his assistant Maurice Malpas issues instructions from the dugout.
The game will be shown live on Sky TV with a 12.45pm kick off and a large Hibs’ support is expected to travel to Paisley.
