Aberdeen have successfully appealed the one-match touchline ban handed to manager Derek McInnes.
The Dons boss was sent to the stands by referee Bobby Madden during the first-half of Aberdeen's 1-0 win at Dundee United on March 2.
He was subsequently offered a fixed, one-match touchline ban for misconduct.
The appeal was heard in front of an independent panel at Hampden Park on Thursday, where the SFA reduced the punishment to a one-match suspended ban until the end of the season.
It means McInnes will be available to take his place in the dugout of Aberdeen's next match against Hamilton in April 3.
Elswhere, Dundee's appeal against the red card shown to goalkeeper Scott Bain in Sunday's 2-2 draw against city rivals Dundee United has been rejected.
Bain was sent-off early in the second-half after hauling down United striker Billy Mckay in the box, and will be suspended for the Dark Blues' match against Ross County on April 3, with David Mitchell set to deputise.
