Rotherham player out for season

Last updated : 13 April 2006 By Andy Van Hagen
Rotherham United's Michael Keane will sit out the rest of the relegation run-in as the league rejected Rotherham's appeal to overturn his 5 match ban.
Keane was sent off for the third time this season during last Saturday's 2-0 win over Tranmere. Keane and Tranmere's Jackson both saw red after a scuffle.

Having seen red 3 times this season Keane recieved the usual ban of 3 games and an additional 1 game per red card, so his season is over.

Keane has been a ever present for Rotherham when fit and not suspended this season, so his loss will be a big blow to his clubs fight for League One survival.
