HIBS will not be appealing the SFA’s decision to hand manager Pat Fenlon a four-match touchline ban.

The Easter Road boss was hit with the punishment yesterday following a gesture he made in the direction of Hearts supporters in the Scottish Cup final last month.

After a meeting of the governing body’s judicial panel at Hampden, it was decided that two of those matches will be suspended until the end of the season and only come into effect if Fenlon is found to be in breach of rule 203 again in that period of time.
