A Scottish soccer manager who criticised the country's first woman referee and said she should be at home making dinner resigned on Tuesday.
Peter Hetherston quit as boss of third division Albion Rovers.
Hetherston, who was ordered to the stand for reportedly abusing a linesman during his side's 3-1 Scottish Cup defeat by Montrose on Saturday, told club officials he felt he had been unfairly treated following his criticism of a lineswoman last month.
"Peter is a man of integrity and he told the board that this was the last straw as far as he was concerned as he felt that he had been unfairly dealt with," a club director told local newspapers on Tuesday.
Hetherston is waiting to hear if he will be punished by the Scottish FA after saying that assistant Morag Pirie "should be at home making the dinner for her man" following his side's 1-0 defeat at Montrose on November 8.
An FA disciplinary meeting will discuss those comments next week and the former Aberdeen player could be banned or fined.
