Dundee United's Christian Kalvenes and Falkirk's Kenny Milne have had their appeals against red cards upheld.
A Scottish FA review panel rescinded Kalvenes' red card, received from referee Brian Winter in the 2-1 SPL defeat by Kilmarnock.
Milne's red card in the 4-1 loss against Celtic was reduced to a caution following Friday's hearing.
Both players are available for Saturday's SPL games against Hibs and Rangers respectively.
Kalvenes was shown a straight red card for what appeared to be a clean tackle at Rugby Park Monday.
And United manager Craig Levein was furious as Killie hit 2 late goals to win the game.
Milne was sent off after Celtic forward Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink tumbled on his way through to goal in last Sunday's game.
But Falkirk team mate Darren Barr confessed to the foul and television pictures appear to clear Milne of any wrongdoing.
The SFA mentioned in a statement, "On reviewing the sending off of Christian Kalvenes, Brian Winter had taken that the player had not committed serious foul play. The review panel said this view by upholding Dundee United FC's appeal. In the case of Kenny Milne, it was the very close proximity of his team mate Darren Barr which, in terms of the application of the Laws of the Game, negated the 'obvious' goalscoring opportunity which led to his dismissal. The review panel had sympathy for the position in which Dougie McDonald found himself in having to quickly come to a decision in the match."
The statement went on, "In reducing Milne's sending off to a caution, the review panel had taken the view that it was appropriate to impose a sanction in the circumstances to discourage players from seeking to indulge in foul play."
Kalvenes and Milne are both free to play in the SPL games against Hibs and Rangers respectively, the SFA confirmed.

Falkirk manager John Hughes has vowed to appeal against the red card shown to Kenny Milne in Saturday's 4-1 SPL home defeat to Celtic.
Milne's dismissal presented the visitors with the free kick from which Shunsuke Nakamura found the net for Celtic's 3rd goal.
Milne and team mate Darren Barr were jostling for possession with Hoops player Jan Vennegor of Hesselink on the edge of the Falkirk penalty area when the forward went over.
It appeared to be Barr who made the most contact, and in any case Hughes said neither man was guilty of a professional foul. Referee Dougie McDonald decided it was a red card offence however, and ordered Milne off.
"The sending off was an absolute shocker, a joke," Hughes informed Setanta 1.
"It happens, he's sent off the wrong guy today. Was it a clear goalscoring opportunity? No, the 2 boys were behind the ball. It was Darren Barr that clipped him. Would he (McDonald) go and look at it, and see he made a mistake so we can get that rescinded? I hope so. If the shoe was on the other foot and it was 2 Celtic players going through with my guy, would the red card come out? I do not think so. I am going to appeal it. As long as you are right, you must allow your players know you are standing up for them. When you go to these appeal boards it is a case of ... you are wasting your time. Hopeful common sense will prevail."
Hughes did have praise for Celtic, who came from behind to win.
But he says that the outcome would have been very different if his team had not been reduced to 10 men.
"Celtic deserved to win the match," mentioned Hughes. "Every time we get decisions like that against the big boys, big decisions go against us. That one certainly did. Even at 2-1 you are still in the match. That one certainly swung the match."
