Aberdeen manager Jim Goodwin has had his touchline suspension reduced on appeal and will sit in the stand for only two more games.

Goodwin was originally hit with a six-match ban, with a further two-game ban suspended, after accusing Hibernian defender Ryan Porteous of “blatant cheating”, but has seen that cut by three after the appellate tribunal partially upheld his appeal at a hearing on Monday night.
