Neil Redfearn has resigned as manager of Northwich Victoria after just nine games in charge. Paul Warhurst, who made his debut for the Vics in Saturday’s 3-1 loss against Histon, will take charge of team matters for the game at Halifax Town on Tuesday.

Two football fans - a 46-year-old from Edinburgh, and another, 41, from Falkirk - have been ordered to stay away from all SPL grounds pending trial for alleged racially aggravated breach of the peace.

The alleged incident occurred during Saturday’s 1-1 draw between Falkirk and Hibernian at Falkirk Stadium.
