Ferguson was shown two yellow cards in quick succession by referee Lewis Smith during the second-half of a 4-2 home defeat.

He will serve the first match of the ban in tonight’s EFL Trophy clash with Cambridge United.

Ferguson will also be banned from the touchline when Posh host Leyton Orient in a League One game at the Weston Homes Stadium on Saturday (September 16).

Ferguson denied a charge that he acted in an improper manner and/or used abusive and/or insulting words and/or gestures before he was sent off. He also denied a charge that his behaviour was improper in failing to leave the technical area immediately after being sent off.
