Doncaster Rovers boss Richie Wellens has been charged with improper conduct by the Football Association.

The charge relates to an incident during last weekend’s 2-1 defeat at Plymouth Argyle after the Pilgrims were awarded the second of two penalties.

Wellens was found to be in breach of FA rule E3 when he kicked a water bottle in the direction of Plymouth fans.

He was subsequently shown a red card by referee Trevor Kettle for dissent.

Wellens apologised for the incident earlier this week and said his behaviour was ‘not acceptable’

He has until Monday 4 October to respond to the charge.
