Valletta goalkeeper Manuel Bartolo has been suspended from football for three months by the MFA following his sending off in Saturday's semi-final against Hibs.

He was reported for inciting supporters after his red card.

He was also given an additional two-match ban after being shown a straight red card for kicking Hibs midfielder Zoran Levnaic.

The suspension comes into effect immediately.

Meanwhile Hibs goalkeeper Mario Muscat was also given a one-match ban for his sending off during the same semi-final. Muscat will miss this evening's FA Trophy final against Qormi.
