Clough's Derby have struggled in the Championship this season

Derby County manager Nigel Clough has been handed a one-game touchline ban after accepting a Football Association charge of improper conduct.

Clough was also fined £1,000 and warned as to his future conduct for being sent to the stands during the Easter Monday defeat against Ipswich at Pride Park.

Meanwhile striker Rob Hulse will also not be involved in Sunday's final game of the season against Cardiff City.

Hulse has had surgery to cure a groin injury and will be out until late June.

But he is expected to be fit in time for the start of pre-season training.
