Former Rangers defender Bilel Mohsni has received an additional three-game ban following his Motherwell meltdown – taking his total suspension to seven matches.
The Tunisia international was given a four-game punishment after he was red carded for punching and kicking Well striker Lee Erwin in the seconds after Gers’ humiliating 6-1 aggregate play-off final defeat.
But now Scottish Football Association disciplinary bosses have increased his ban after finding him guilty of two further offences during a Hampden hearing.
Mohsni reacted with fury after Erwin, who has since signed for Leeds, pushedhim in the back after his offer of a handshake had been snubbed following thecrucial play-off decider on May 31.
The Gers defender, who has been released after his contract expired, kicked his opponent before planting a punch into Erwin’s face, sparking a mass brawl.
The former Southend player even tried to confront Erwin again as both players left the stadium after the game.
Referee Craig Thomson gave Mohsni a red card in the tunnel after he had been rushed off the field.
But while the SFA issued him with a four-game ban for the offences witnessed by the match official, they also charged him with “committing excessive misconduct” in relation to “prolonged” acts of violent conduct.
He was found guilty of kicking Erwin and punching him on the face, but a third charge that claimed he had “struggled violently” with Well’s Fraser Kerr was deleted.
Mohsni’s agent has already admitted his player’s career in the UK is “over”.
And his attempts to kick-start his career abroad will be delayed unless he moves to a country which does not subscribe to the usual conditions of registration, including the application of bans issued in foreign competitions.
