Kilmarnock forward Greg Stewart has been punished with a two-game ban after being found guilty of aiming a headbutt at Hamilton’s Scott Martin.
The former Dundee, Birmingham and Aberdeen attacker was cited for violent conduct after motioning his head at Hamilton’s Scott Martin as they tussled off the ball tussle during Saturday’s 1-1 draw at Rugby Park.
Killie boss Steve Clarke appealed the decision in order to allow Stewart to face Rangers on Wednesday night and the move paid off as he struck the equaliser in their 1-1 draw at Ibrox.
But the charge against him was found to be proved during a fast-track hearing in front of a Scottish Football Association disciplinary panel on Thursday.
Stewart will now sit out Saturday’s visit of Aberdeen to Rugby Park and the trip to Hearts on November 10.
