Ryan Kent has been charged by the SFA after striking Celtic captain Scott Brown.
The Rangers winger lashed out at the Hoops midfielder during his side's 2-1 derby defeat at Parkhead on Sunday.
Kent reacted to Brown rolling the ball away from him as Rangers chased an equaliser with the clock ticking down.
The incident was flagged up to the SFA's compliance officer and put forward to a review panel that has decided Kent has a case to answer at a hearing on Thursday, April 4.
A suspension for the on-loan Liverpool star would be another huge blow for Steven Gerrard, with Alfredo Morelos set to miss four games.
The striker was dismissed for the fifth time this season for another incident involving Brown.
Morelos swung an arm at the 33-year-old off the ball and was shown a straight red by ref Bobby Madden.

The Colombian issued an apology to Rangers fans' on Monday night and vowed he'd never let the club down again.
Rangers will also be without Andy Halliday for Wednesday's visit of Hearts after he received a second caution after the full-time whistle.
Halliday reacted to Brown celebrating in front of the Rangers support as tempers flared.
And the SFA have confirmed Celtic's Mikael Lustig and Rangers sub keeper Wes Foderingham were also booked in the aftermath.
