Hibs boss slapped with six-match ban

John Hughes will serve a six-match touchline ban after being sent to the stands during Hibernian’s 5-1 thrashing at St Johnstone, the Scottish Football Association confirmed today.

Hibs boss Hughes saw red in Wednesday night’s Clydesdale Bank Premier League defeat at McDiarmid Park for his reaction to what he felt was a foul on defender Paul Hanlon in the build-up to Saints’ fourth goal.
