Livingston have lost their appeal against Jason Holt's red card against Hibs last week.
The midfielder was sent off after just 15-minutes during their encounter at Easter Road on Christmas Eve.
The ex-Hearts and Rangers player will now miss Livi's next two games against Motherwell and Ross County.
Meanwhile, Jim Goodwin branded Aberdeen’s performance in their 2-1 defeat to Kilmarnock at Rugby Park “abysmal” and apologised to the supporters who had made the long trip to Ayrshire.
The Pittodrie club, beaten by Celtic, Rangers and St Mirren in their last three matches, lost their fourth cinch Premiership game in a row yesterday evening.
They conceded goals to Scott Robinson and Joe Wright in the first-half and only netted in injury-time when Matty Kennedy netted a free-kick.

Goodwin, whose side slipped to fourth place in the top flight table as a result of the reverse, vowed there would be a stark improvement in the home game against Ross County on Monday.
“We’ve lost games where three or four players were below par, but tonight we were abysmal,” he said.
“I can only apologise to the fans who made the trip here. We really let them down and we have to do something about it in the next game.
“The first 45 minutes was appalling. The fact we were only 2-0 down was a positive as Kilmarnock could have been 4-0 up.
“We caused our own downfall a lot of the time and the two goals we conceded were pathetic.”

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
