The charge, which relates to Levein's role as Hearts director of football, alleges he broke disciplinary rule 207, which states "no official shall commit misconduct at a match".

The case was due to be settled on Wednesday but an SFA spokesman confirmed it did not take place. A new date has yet to be set.

Hearts won the game 3-2 at Oriam, Scotland's national sports performance centre which doubles as the club's training centre.

Levein received a two-match touchline ban from the SFA in January – one game of which was suspended until the end of the year – for criticism of match officials after a defeat by Rangers.

Meanwhile, Robbie Neilson has escaped punishment after the SFA's disciplinary panel decided a misconduct case against the Dundee United boss was not proven.

Neilson was charged after being sent to the stand by referee Alan Newlands during a clash with Partick Thistle last month.
