John Boyle, the Motherwell chairman, has been disciplined by the SFA for his part in a clash with Craig Brown on April 2nd.
The Fir Park chairman, who did not appear at the hearing, has been fined £2,500 and severely censured for "behaving in an inappropriate and inflammatory manner towards opposing team's club officials".
Following Motherwell's 2-1 victory, Boyle was seen to make a comment to his former employee, Craig Brown , which the latter took exception to.
Brown was censured earlier today for his part in the confrontation, but escaped further sanctions because the SFA board "acknowledged the level of provocation" to which he was subjected.
Motherwell have admitted that they are surprised by the decision, and intend to appeal the verdict.
