Kemar Roofe faces a two-match ban after being issued with a notice of complaint by an SFA compliance officer over a tackle he made during Rangers’ 1-0 win over St Johnstone on Wednesday.
Roofe was shown a yellow card for a first-half tackle on Murray Davidson, but it has been suggested the Rangers striker was lucky to stay on the pitch.
The 28-year-old caught Davidson high up the leg and could have been sent off as Steven Gerrard’s men went on to secure victory at Ibrox.
Roofe has been issued with a notice of complaint by an SFA compliance officer after a panel of three former referees deemed the tackle breached Scottish FA disciplinary rule 200.
There will be a hearing on Tuesday if Rangers contest the notice of complaint.
Rangers assistant manager Gary McAllister said after the match the referee made the right decision in booking Roofe, while St Johnstone boss Callum Davidson insisted there was no malice in the incident.
McAllister said: “I thought the referee had a good view of the [Roofe] situation and knowing the type of player that he is, I think the referee saw it as a yellow. He miscontrolled it, tried to retrieve it and the referee has seen it as a yellow.”
