Referee Alan Young dismissed Stevenage's Alex MacDonald for the challenge, having already sent off Callum Lang in the first half for two bookable offences.

He issued 12 yellow cards to the visitors in total - believed to be a record - including one to manager Shaun Maloney.

Both clubs have until Monday to respond.
