Arbroath v Hamilton: Accies boss suspended for Gayfield Park clash

Hamilton Accies boss Stuart Taylor will be missing from the dug-out for the Championship clash against Arbroath this evening after he and the club accepted a one-match ban following his 'red card' against Ayr United last month.

Having been booked by referee John Beaton for protesting a decision during the January 29 fixture at New Douglas Park, in which Kai Kennedy's early strike was levelled by Sam Ashford, the Accies head coach was shown a second yellow in the aftermath of the game.

Taylor missed Saturday's 0-0 draw at Raith Rovers because he was self-isolating, and it was unclear whether that would also have led to him missing the clash against Dick Campbell's side.

But Accies confirmed the suspension and posted: "Confirmation from the SFA that Stuart Taylor was reported after full-time in our last home game v Ayr for a second yellow card offence.

"Accordingly, Stuart has now been offered, and accepted, a immediate one-game ban and is suspended tonight."
