The St Johnstone manager will not return to the dug-out until the end of January following yesterday's decision by the SFA's disciplinary panel.
The Northern Irishman was sent to the stand during his side's 1-1 draw at Celtic Park earlier this month for arguing with referee Iain Brines over his decision to allow Celtic's Tony Watt to re-enter play in an advantageous position after receiving treatment. Lomas apologised at the time for the language used. "It's a passionate game," he said. "I've apologised, but at the end of the day, that could have cost us dearly."
