St Johnstone have released a statement revealing the punishments handed down to disgraced duo Danny Swanson and Richard Foster.
The pair were sent off for fighting with each other during the game at Hamilton on Saturday, with the nine men of Saints ultimately losing 1-0.
The Perth club conducted an investigation into what occurred at New Douglas Park and following a disciplinary meeting with the players, have issued their judgement.
Swanson and Foster have both been fined four weeks’ wages with St Johnstone insisting that was the harshest punishment possible short of dismissal.
The contrite duo have apologised for their actions and asked that some of the money from their fines is put towards free bus travel for fans going to other away games this season.
The statement read: “St Johnstone FC have completed their investigation into the circumstances surrounding the dismissals of Richard Foster and Danny Swanson at the game v Hamilton Academical FC on 1st April 2017 and have concluded disciplinary hearings for both.
“Richard Foster and Danny Swanson fully accept that they are ambassadors for the club and role models for young fans everywhere.
“They accept that their conduct fell far below that which is required of them as professional football players with St Johnstone FC and that they brought the club into disrepute.
“The sanctions imposed upon them – a fine of four weeks’ wages – were the most severe, short of summary dismissal.
“The players have accepted the sanctions without question and they wish to apologise unreservedly to the supporters of the club for their behaviour.
“Both players have expressed a desire for a proportion of the fines to be utilised for free bus travel for supporters to the remaining away matches this season and the club is in full agreement with this request.
“The players will now return to training and playing duties where they can channel their energies into contributing to the continued success of the club.”
