Michael Stewart is set for a return to BBC TV and radio, as the broadcaster confirmed they have lifted his temporary ban.
Stewart was at the centre of controversy earlier this month when he lashed out at Rangers PR head Jim Traynor on air.
The explosive rant was deemed to be a breach of BBC editorial conduct, and it was shortly after announced that Stewart's duties would be suspended.
On Wednesday, however, a BBC statement confirmed that the former Hearts player has agreed to their guidelines, and will be available once again for punditry duties imminently.
It read: “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.”
The BBC refused to air the Sportsound show in question as podcast after Stewart blasted Traynor for allegedly releasing an interview with Alfredo Morelos , later aired by Sky Sports.
It seems the furore has been put to one side, however, with Stewart now available for Tuesday night's Sportsound - though it is unconfirmed if he will appear.
