Compliance With The Rules

C:WindowsTempphp856F.tmpJosh Magennis has been issued with a notice of complaint by the SFA's compliance officer after clashing with Kilmarnock team-mate Jamie Hamill during Saturday's Premiership fixture at Partick Thistle. Magennis was cited for appearing to head-butt Hamill in the first half of their side’s 4-1 win which secured their top- flight status after Hamill had criticised the striker for conceding a free-kick. Both players and Killie manager Gary Locke dismissed the incident but a notice on the SFA’s website said Magennis had breached Disciplinary Rule 200, with the Northern Irishman being offered an immediate two-game ban by compliance officer Tony McGlennan. Magennis has until 3pm on Wednesday, May 20 to respond to the complaint.

The notice said: "In that at the above match you committed an offence listed in the Schedule of Offences contained in Section 3 of Annex C to the Judicial Panel Protocol, namely A2 Violent Conduct, by head-butting Jamie Hamill of Kilmarnock FC."

Elsewhere, Motherwell should learn on Thursday if Scott McDonald’s appeal for wrongful dismissal has been successful. The striker was shown a red card for an alleged elbow during his side’s defeat to St Mirren at the weekend. If upheld, McDonald would miss the first leg of his side's play-off final against either Rangers or Hibs.
