Jamie Walker has until 3pm on Wednesday to appeal against a two match ban for diving against Celtic.
The Hearts midfielder earned his side a penalty then equalised from the spot kick awarded by John Beaton.
After the match Scott Brown described Walker as a cheat with the SFA using slightly different language on their charge sheet.
On their website the SFA stated: “Disciplinary Rule 201 – At the above match you committed an act of simulation in that you did pretend that you were fouled by a player on the opposing team, namely Kieran Tierney, and did thereafter dive in the penalty box of the opposing team. That this act of simulation caused a match official to make an incorrect decision, namely the incorrect awarding of a penalty to Heart of Midlothian FC.
Fixed suspension offered: Yes – two matches
Principal hearing date: Thursday, 11th August 2016
Mr Walker has until 3pm on Wednesday, 10th August 2016 to respond to the complaint.
If Walker decides to accept the punishment he will miss the Betfred Cup tie tomorrow night at St Johnstone and Saturday’s SPFL visit to Aberdeen.
Straight after the match Robbie Neilson said that he never saw the incident clearly while on Monday he responded to Brown’s comment about cheating.
The Hearts boss said: “It’s disappointing when you hear fellow professionals saying things like that but Scott’s entitled to his opinion.
“But from our perspective, Jamie has said there was contact there. If there’s contact, it’s up to the referee to make a decision.
“At no point did Jamie claim for a penalty, as any of our players did. The referee makes the decision and you have to accept it.”
UPDATE Hearts have announced that they will appeal the ban freeing Walker to play tomorrow against St Johnstone.”
