Stephen Robinson: Ban for cup final would be 'injustice'
The Motherwell boss could miss the Hampden showpiece against Celtic in November.
Motherwell manager Stephen Robinson will fight his corner at an upcoming Scottish FA disciplinary hearing but said it would be "an injustice" if he was to miss the League Cup final.
Robinson and Rangers manager Pedro Caixinha were both charged by the governing body after a touchline spat during the semi-final at Hampden on Sunday.
Caixinha was offered, and accepted, a one-match ban rather than appear before a disciplinary panel but Robinson has previously been banned for misconduct so was not given the option.
The Motherwell boss has served a one-match and a three-match ban in recent years and so was summoned to Hampden to explain himself.
The hearing has been set for November 9 and if he receives anything more than a one-match suspension then he will be in the stand as Motherwell look to win the first silverware of the season.
"I will deal with that when it comes, we'll see what happens but I don't think I did a whole lot wrong," Robinson said.
"I didn't leave my technical area, etc, but we will deal with that and speak to the SFA and I'm sure they will be sensible with it.
"I'd be absolutely devastated (to miss the final) for what it was. It would be an injustice to say the least but we'll deal with it when it happens."
Robinson saw his side build on their 2-0 semi-final win with a 1-0 victory at Dundee on Wednesday night.
Craig Tanner's early goal sealed three points, leaving Robinson delighted.
"I said (to the players) that's the best result of the season," he said.
"The last two games we have pulled out two results. The good thing is we're winning games and could play a lot better."
