Cowdenbeath’s Dean Brett handed four-match ban for social media comments

The outcome of the hearing has been confirmed by Cowdenbeath, who suspended Brett earlier this week over the betting allegations. A club statement read: “Following a hearing at Hampden Park, the tribunal found that between 23 May 2016 and 5 November 2016 Dean made comments upon a social networking site, namely Twitter, that were of a discriminatory, and offensive nature, based upon sexual orientation as well as comments that were otherwise of an offensive nature.”
