Alfredo Morelos will discover on Tuesday if he is to face further action for his clash with Dundee United defender Mark Connolly.
The Rangers striker was booked after planting his forearm into the Irishman’s face during the early stages of the Premiership leaders’ 2-1 win at Tannadice on Sunday.
The incident left United boss Micky Mellon fuming on the touchline, while former Gers manager Ally McCoist branded the Colombian’s actions ‘crazy’ during his commentary duties for Sky Sports.
However, Light Blues boss Steven Gerrard insisted the matter should be considered closed after referee Steven McLean deemed the 12th-minute offence only worthy of a yellow card.
But under the Scottish Football Association’s disciplinary rules, compliance officer Clare Whyte can take further action on Morelos so long as it is ruled to be “exceptional in nature”.
Those powers fall under the SFA’s fast-track procedures, meaning Whyte has until 3pm on Tuesday afternoon to make her decision.
Compliance officer Whyte - who is set to stand down from the role early next year - has acted to upgrade yellow cards to red on four occasions over the past two seasons.
Hamilton midfielder Darian MacKinnon was given a two-match ban back in October 2018 after having a heavy challenge on Kilmarnock’s Alan Power reviewed.
On-loan Leicester defender Darnell Johnson was booked on his Hibs debut at Celtic Park in February last year after going in over the ball on Hoops full-back Emilio Izaguirre – only to then receive a two-game retrospective punishment.
St Mirren’s Greg Tansey was also given a belated suspension three weeks later after initially picking up a caution for a dangerous tackle on Hearts’ Clevid Dikamona.
And Motherwell full-back Jake Carroll saw his yellow card for a foul on Livingston’s Nicky Devlin upgraded to a red in August last year after Whyte again decided the referee’s on-field decision did not go far enough.
