Peterhead defender Scott Ross has been banned for two games for spitting at Rangers midfielder Nicky Law.
The 24-year-old accepted the suspension after the Scottish Football Association took action following his side's 3-0 League Cup defeat at Ibrox on Sunday.
The SFA punishment was for "spitting at an opponent" but Peterhead claim Law was not an intentional target.
A club statement read: "The PFC board have reviewed the video evidence and spoken with the player.
"It is clear that Scott did spit in the general direction of Rangers player Nicky Law and Scott admits that he did spit, but in no way was it intentionally directed towards Nicky Law and is making every effort to speak with Nicky to apologise for the misunderstanding.
"Peterhead FC, regardless of the circumstances, cannot condone spitting in any way and although we accept Scott's explanation, he has fallen below the level of behaviour we expect, and has been fined under the club's disciplinary code of conduct."
