Rotherham United manager Alex Bruce and Bristol Rovers assistant Paul Raynor have been given one-match touchline bans for their red cards in the League Two game between the sides earlier this month.

The pair were sent off in the 93rd minute of Rovers' 1-0 win over the Millers at the Memorial Stadium after a confrontation.

Bruce and Raynor accepted the charges of improper conduct and remaining in view of the pitch after being sent off and also received fines of £1,000 and £1,500 respectively.

Both clubs also accepted accepted charges of failing to ensure players did not behave in an improper/provocative way and were fined £1,000 each.

Second-placed Bristol Rovers travel to Gillingham on Saturday, while 16th-placed Rotherham are away at Northampton.
