CALUM BUTCHER has accepted his violent conduct charge for his challenge on David Turnbull and will serve a three-game ban.
Referee Don Robertson booked the midfielder for the tackle which SunSport's Kris Boyd reckoned could have seriously injured the Hoops star.
The compliance officer reviewed the footage and slapped the 30-year-old with the charge which he has opted not to contest.
Butcher returned from a two-game ban in the defeat to Celtic at Tannadice.
Having crossed the disciplinary threshold, his ban has been increased to three games.
He now misses this weekend's Livingston clash followed by an away trip at Rangers.
And he'll have time off at Christmas too, missing the Boxing Day home tie with Hibs.
