Kilmarnock's Kenny Shiels given four-match ban as Aberdeen give Jamie Masson new deal (SFA compliance officer) Vincent Lunny won't allow me to tell the truth so I can't talk about officials. It is the only industry in the world where you are not allowed to tell the truth. The SFA noted that in a newspaper article reporting Bell's successful appeal against his dismissal, Shiels further suggested Norris would not be acting with integrity if he failed to admit he made a mistake. The Northern Irishman escaped additional punishment by the SFA panel after being sent to the stands by referee Stevie O'Reilly for disputing his controversial decision to dismiss Manuel Pascal in a match against St Johnstone at Rugby Park on Nov 24. Shiels was found in breach of SFA rule 203, which relates to misconduct, but the panel ruled no further sanction was necessary. Thursday's hearing comes after Shiels was given a two-match touchline ban in June - one of which was suspended and subsequently enforced - after comments he made about refereeing decisions in a match between Celtic and St Johnstone. Shiels felt wronged after the hearing, telling STV: "I'm disappointed at the ruling. I feel I haven't done anything wrong. I don't feel guilty. My freedom of speech has been taken away. Escaping further punishment for his dismissal against St Johnstone also offered little comfort. Shiels said: "I'm not pleased for being cleared for that, I'm frustrated because ultimately we lost that match." Kilmarnock face Aberdeen at Pittodrie on Saturday, and the hosts have received some cheer, with midfielder Jamie Masson signing a new two-year contract. The Fraserburgh-born player follows Joe Shaughnessy in extending his stay in the past seven days, after fellow teenager Ryan Fraser turned down an offer. The 19 year-old has made six appearances for the Dons, netting once. He told the club's website: "I spoke with my family and my agent but it was a very simple decision in the end. Aberdeen is a good club to be playing your football at. Hopefully I can repay the faith the management team have shown in me by offering me the deal. Meanwhile, captain Russell Anderson could return to face Kilmarnock after missing the midweek cup win over Motherwell with a back injury. Midfielder Stephen Hughes is also nearing a return after knee and ankle injuries but is doubtful for the Killie clash.
