Ross McCrorie has lost his appeal against the red card he picked up during Aberdeen versus St Mirren.
He was sent off after his arm struck opposition defender Charles Dunne in the head during the first-half of the 3-1 defeat to Stephen Robinson's side.
Referee Grant Irvine consulted the VAR screen before making the decision and ultimately ordered the 24-year-old off.
The Pittodrie side confirmed the news in a statement, saying: "The club is this evening disappointed to learn it has lost its appeal against Ross McCrorie’s red card which he received on Wednesday night against St Mirren.
"As a result, Ross will now serve an immediate two-match ban."
McCrorie will miss the next Scottish Premiership match against Motherwell at home and also the trip to face Celtic at Parkhead on Saturday February 18.
