The battle of New Douglas Park
Hearts have fined the three players who were reported by referee David Somers after the scuffle that followed their 2-1 defeat by Hamilton on Sunday.
Suso Santana, Ian Black and Eggert Jonsson have all been penalised after an internal review of the disturbance.
Santana was dismissed for violent conduct after an apparent clash with Hamilton's Leon Knight.
Black received the equivalent of a red card for abusive behaviour and Jonsson was cautioned for dissent.
Hearts will not appeal against Santana's post-match red card and the Spanish winger will be suspended for Saturday's visit of Dundee United.
He will be missing along with Black and Ismael Bouzid, who was sent off during the game along with Michael Stewart, the Hearts captain being hopeful of winning an appeal against his dismissal.

We do have Mark Ridgers, and he is a very good young goalkeeper, so we have no problems in involving him

Somers has conceded that he made a mistake in Stewart's case and a Scottish Football Association panel will review the incident.
On the decision to punish the trio, manager Csaba Lazlo told the club website: "While there were clearly a series of circumstances that led to events at the end of the game, it is important that players retain their discipline at all times.
"The players concerned have been disciplined now and we will now concentrate on this weekend's game against Dundee United at Tynecastle."
Hearts are missing Andrew Driver and Marius Zaliukas through injury and their selection problems for the weekend have been exacerbated by doubts over all three first-team goalkeepers.
Janos Balogh is battling to overcome the hamstring injury that forced him off at New Douglas Park and his replacement, Jamie MacDonald, has been ruled out with suspected ligament damage after twisting his ankle in training.
Marian Kello may come back after missing the Hamilton game clash through illness.
"We will see how Janos is, I hope he will be fit," Laszlo said. "Jamie cannot play and we must hope Marian is fit after he was ill at the weekend.
"We do have Mark Ridgers, and he is a very good young goalkeeper, so we have no problems in involving him."
Ridgers, 19, has spent the last month on loan at Second Division East Fife.
