Tuesday 23 December 2014 17:39, UK
St Johnstone striker Brian Graham is facing a two-match suspension after being charged with simulation in the 1-0 victory over Inverness Caledonian Thistle.
Graham won and converted the decisive penalty when referee Brian Colvin adjudged Caley Thistle goalkeeper Dean Brill had tripped the forward.
Saints have until Wednesday to respond to the Scottish FA compliance officer's notice of complaint.
Graham has been charged with "causing a match official to make an incorrect decision by committing an act of simulation".
If St Johnstone challenge the suspension, a hearing date of December 30 has been set.
The 27-year-old was already due to miss the game against Dundee United on Saturday under the terms of his loan agreement from his parent club.
Meanwhile. Saints midfielder Dylan Easton has joined Arbroath on an emergency loan until January 22.
