'Naive' McDonald is fined for leaving Turf Moor at half-time
The club announced the punishment yesterday, with McDonald also apologising for his "naive" and "disrespectful" behaviour.
Former Dundee player McDonald, 21, was substituted at the break with Burnley 5-0 down. He said: "I now realise it was naive, disrespectful and totally wrong of me to leave the ground at half-time on Saturday.

"I acknowledge that I also showed a serious lack of respect to all the fans who were at the ground and who pay good money to watch their team play. I would like to apologise to the players, management and supporters and I have accepted my punishment."
