Aberdeen player Funso Ojo will have to serve the ban incurred by his controversial red card at Dundee United, according to reports.
The Belgian midfielder was shown a second yellow card by referee Bobby Madden following an incident involving a fan in Saturday’s 1-0 Premiership defeat.
Rules state yellow cards can only be overturned in cases of simulation or mistaken identity and it is understood SFA chiefs do not think there is a way around the regulations.
Ojo’s absence will be a big blow for Stephen Glass, who is already expected to be missing defenders Declan Gallagher, Calvin Ramsay and Andy Considine for the Celtic game this weekend.
