Highlanders have been summoned to appear before the Premier Soccer League Disciplinary Committee on September 29 for alleged unruly behaviour of their supporters during the BancABC Sup8r Cup final against Motor Action at Barbourfields Stadium last Saturday.
Bosso fans at the Soweto stand threw missiles onto the pitch before the game ended leading to the injury of Motor Action midfielder Masimba Mambare, they also damaged the perimeter fence resulting in running battles with police who tried to quell the brief skirmishes.
Highlanders host Blue Ribbon on Sunday, hoping to bounce back to winning ways and keep pressure on Motor Action, FC Platinum and Dynamos.
Meanwhile, the biggest football club knockout competition in the history of the local game, the Mbada Diamonds Cup, will be launched this evening.
Mbada Diamonds last month unveiled a $1 million sponsorship deal with the Premier Soccer League that will see all 16 league teams taking part.
The winner of the cup is guaranteed $75 000, a floating trophy and a ticket to represent the country in the Caf Confederations Cup next year.
