Kilmarnock have appealed the red card shown to Lewis Mayo in the wake of their 2-2 draw with Dundee.
For the third time this season, the teams played out a 2-2 stalemate, with the theme of late drama continuing too.
Robbie Deas snatched a late point for European football-chasing Killie at Dens, as they came from behind twice to ensure it wasn't back-to-back defeats for Derek McInnes' side.
They had to do it with 10 men though, after Mayo was given his marching orders by referee Colin Steven around the hour mark.
The defender was involved in a tussle with Scott Tiffoney as the Dundee attacker looked to get through on Will Dennis' goal. Mayo was adjudged to have brought down the ex-Partick Thistle man, as the hosts were awarded a penalty, and the centre-back sent off for the denial of a goalscoring opportunity.
Post-match, McInnes insisted the Rugby Park club would appeal the call having felt aggrieved over the decision. Now, that has been confirmed.
A short club statement reads: "We can confirm that we have submitted an appeal to the Scottish FA disciplinary panel over the red card shown to Lewis Mayo in Saturday’s game against Dundee.
"The appeal is due to be heard tomorrow (March 5) and we will update supporters with the outcome as soon as we can."
Regardless of the outcome, Mayo will be available for Killie's huge Scottish Cup quarter-final tie against Aberdeen on Saturday.
McInnes was left dumbfounded as to why his defender was sent off for the incident.
The 'scunnered' Killie manager was adamant he felt there was no foul for a penalty either.

He said: “We had to dig ourselves out of a hole after a refereeing decision. I went to see him. There is no infringement in the box, if there is a foul?
“It's a bit untidy because Mayo has his eyes on the ball, it bounces and he gets himself in a bad position, but at no time does he pull Tiffoney down.
"Tiffoney falls down and it doesn’t look great. I can’t understand why Greg Aitken and the VAR team haven’t asked the referee to look at it.
"I think if he does, he doesn’t give the penalty and I think it actually makes him think twice as to whether there is a foul there or not. I am just scunnered with it.”
