Michael Stewart will not appear on BBC Sportsound this evening despite making his comeback last weekend.

The pundit was scheduled to appear on the radio show after patching things up with the corporation following his rant aimed at Rangers' PR chief Jim Traynor.

However, despite his return on Sportscene last Saturday, the former Hearts and Hibs midfielder took to social media to explain how a "change of plan" will keep him off the broadcast this evening.

He said: "Unfortunately due to a change of plan I won’t be on Sportsound tonight to talk about the huge weekend of Scottish Cup football we’ve just had." Mystery surrounding Stewart's omission from the radio show comes as the Gers row rumbles on.

It is not yet known whether or not Stewart will also be missing from BBC's coverage of midweek action.

Stewart was suspended indefinitely by the BBC after accusing Traynor of leaking stories to the press regarding striker Alfredo Morelos and casting doubt on accusations of alleged racist abuse received by the player in a Sky Sports interview.

He launched into a scathing tirade about Traynor, causing BBC's Kenny McIntyre to apologise live on air and the broadcaster keeping Stewart off the airwaves.

We told last week how Stewart's suspension was lifted by the Beeb after positive discussions where the former footballer agreed to code of conduct. A statement released by BBC Scotland said: "Following Sportsound on Monday, February 3 we have clearly explained the BBC editorial guidelines around fairness and accuracy to Michael Stewart.

"We expect our pundits to be forthright, but fair. Michael agrees with this. On that basis, Michael is now available for selection for Sportscene and Sportsound."
