Paul Coutts is set to miss the rest of the season, including any potential play-off fixtures, for Bristol Rovers after receiving a late red card in the dramatic 4-3 win at Rochdale on Saturday.
The captain was dismissed for violent conduct deep into stoppage time after an off-the-ball incident involving an opposition player as tensions boiled over following Aaron Collins' 95th-minute winner at Spotland as Joey Barton's side came from 3-1 down.
Coutts is set to receive the mandatory three-match suspension and an additional game will be added to the ban as it is Coutts' second red card of the season. He was shown a straight red card at Mansfield Town on the opening day of the campaign.
