The incident was missed by referee Kevin Clancy but SFA
Compliance Officer Clare Whyte issued the player with a notice of complaint.

McNulty will miss Saturday’s trip to Aberdeen and next
week’s home clash with St Johnstone.

Youngster Jamie Gullan is likely to take his place in the
team.

Speaking after the final whistle Clare said: “There were
enough cameras there to answer those questions.

“I haven’t seen it back but I felt like it was a stamp at
the time and I’ll let people make their minds up.

“I said to the ref I thought it was a stamp. I haven’t seen
it myself but I have been told it’s not great.

“But I’m not bothered about it now. Winning the game was the
main thing.

“It’s not for me to decide whatever it is.”
