Swindon Town manager Ian Holloway has been given a one-match touchline ban after he was sent off during his side's 1-1 draw with Bristol Rovers.

With the Robins trailling to Kane Thompson-Sommers' first-half goal, Holloway was shown a red card for a comment he allegedly made to a Rovers player in the League Two match at the County Ground on 28 February.

Ollie Palmer equalised shortly after to earn a point for the home side.

"It was alleged that the Swindon Town manager used abusive and/or insulting words towards a Bristol Rovers player in or around the 52nd minute of the fixture, leading to his dismissal," an FA spokesperson said.

Holloway, 62, admitted the charge and accepted the touchline ban, as well as a £500 fine.
