Motherwell FC's poor disciplinary record last season has cost them a £5,000 fine from the Scottish Football Association (SFA).
January warning
The Fir Park club, who were put into administration in April, had been warned in January to improve their conduct on the field. Yet they ended the season having racked up three sendings-off and 87 yellow cards.
Rangers commended
Livingston FC, who qualified for Europe after their first season in the top flight, were the second worst offenders and received a warning, while Rangers FC, Scotland's best-behaved side, were commended for their conduct. Lower down the divisions, Raith Rovers FC, Arbroath FC, Falkirk FC, Berwick Rangers FC, Albion Rovers FC and Dumbarton FC also received fines for their on-field behaviour.
