Coleraine say they will appeal the mammoth 10-game ban imposed on influential midfielder Jamie Glackin.
It is understood that Glackin has been cited for an alleged breach of Article 22 of the Irish FA's disciplinary code which relates to "anyone who offends the dignity of a person or group of persons through contemptuous, discriminatory or denigratory words or actions concerning disability, gender or sexual orientation".
The minimum punishment for such an offence is 10 games, while a minimum fine of £500 is imposed on the player's club.
