Saulius Mikoliunas has been suspended for Lithuania's next two Euro 2008 qualifying games after Uefa found him guilty of diving against Scotland. The Hearts midfielder tricked referee Damir Skomina into awarding a penalty in Lithuania's 3-1 defeat at Hampden.
Uefa's control and disciplinary body confirmed Mikoliunas will miss matches against France on 17 October and Ukraine on 17 November.
A misconduct charge was submitted after a review using video evidence.
When asked after the game if he was worried he may be criticised in Scotland over the incident, Mikoliunas said: "I don't care. I play for Hearts not other clubs.
"If Hearts fans want me to apologise I will, but not to Scotland fans."
Mikoliunas has yet to feature for Hearts since the incident, having picked up a hamstring injury on international duty.
