Speaking after Wednesday's game, Livi manager Gary Holt said: "I spoke to (referee) Bobby Madden after the game and he said it was violent conduct for a push in the face.

"But I think Darren O'Dea has been clever, the old pro. Jack has pushed him off but he's adamant he's not hit him in the face."

Television pictures appear to show Hamilton push O'Dea in the arm before the Irish defender goes down clutching his face.
