Falkirk forward Kevin O'Hara has been hit with an eight game ban after being found guilty by the SFA of abusing Dean Shiels over his missing eye.

The former Rangers midfielder was subjected to the sickening abuse during a clash between Dunfermline and Falkirk last month.

Shiels was red-carded in the late stages of the match - which ended in a 2-0 win for Falkirk - following a wild challenge on McKee on the touchline.

Dunfermline Allan Johnston stated after match: "I think there were maybe some poor remarks made towards Dean.”

The former Kilmarnock player had an operation to have his right eye removed in 2006 due to a domestic accident when he was eight years old.

Another Falkirk player, Joe McKee, is due in front of the SFA facing the same charges next week.

A Falkirk statement said: "The club take note of the decision made by the Scottish FA Judical Panel and are in the process of requesting the written reasons.

"No further comment will be made at this time.
