for Sunday's trip to Hamilton after he was charged with a stamp on Hibernian's Ryan Porteous last week, said:
"I've just found out literally 10 minutes ago we've had a notice of complaint over Kemar Roofe
"I haven't had time to [decide if we will appeal] because the notice of complaint came through 10 minutes ago, which is quite frustrating as we've had two sessions to prepare for Hamilton and he has been heavily involved in both sessions.
"In terms of the decision and what we're going to do as a club we will deal with it in due course.

"He was five yards away and he has obviously seen the incident and gave the yellow card.
"We've had this decision thrust upon us. We've got until end of play Monday to decide what to do and we'll take our time and decide what to do from there."
