Accrington Stanley assistant manager Ged Brannan has been given a one-game touchline ban and fined £250 by the Football Association for misconduct.

The 52-year-old received the ban following their 2-2 League Two draw at AFC Wimbledon on 19 November.

In a statement, the FA said Brannan had admitted to acting in an improper manner and using abusive and insulting words towards a match official after the final whistle.

In a heated finale, James Tilley fired home a 97th minute equaliser for the Dons while Stanley defender Farrend Rawson was sent off after full-time for violent conduct.
