THE Scottish Football Association have issued Rangers manager Mark Warburton a notice of complaint for his outburst against referee John Beaton following Sunday's defeat to Aberdeen.
Warburton was furious after a late free-kick was awarded against Gers defender James Tavernier, which substitute James Maddison spectacularly converted to win the match for the Dons.
The Light Blues boss could now face a one-match touchline ban for his outburst, with the hearing date set for Thursday 13 October.
The SFA say that he breached disciplinary rule 203, "in that immediately following the conclusion of the above match you did commit misconduct in that you entered the field of play and repeatedly used offensive, abusing and insulting language towards match officials."
Warburton has until Monday 3 October to respond to the complaint.
