Josh Magennis headbutts Jamie Hamill
Magennis has been offered a two-game suspension after being charged with violent conduct by SFA compliance officer Tony McGlennan.
Magennis and Hamill went head to head during their team’s 4-1 win at Partick Thistle on Saturday after the Northern Irish striker conceded a free-kick.
Neither player was punished by referee John Beaton, who was himself headbutted by a player while officiating in a Saudi Arabian derby earlier this month. Killie have until 3pm today to respond.
The SFA also confirmed the receipt of unfair dismissal claims by Motherwell and Ross County.
Motherwell are contesting Scott McDonald’s red card in their 2-1 defeat to St Mirren, while County appealed against the dismissal of Filip Kiss in their 2-1 win over Hamilton. The hearings will take place tomorrow.
