St Johnstone manager Steve Lomas faces further sanctions from the Scottish Football Association after being ordered to attend a fresh disciplinary hearing.

The former Northern Ireland midfielder is currently serving an eight-match ban after being sent to the stands twice this season, Sky Sports News reports.

Lomas was given his marching orders during his team's 1-1 draw with Celtic in October and again in last week's defeat to Hibernian.

He has been accused of "misconduct at a match by failing to behave in a responsible manner as an occupant of the technical area by kicking a water bottle carrier causing water bottles to land in the stand".

The Saints boss has until December 12 to respond to the notice of complaint, with a principal hearing scheduled for December 20.
