Kilmarnock boss Derek McInnes is adamant that he has 'no beef' with the Scottish Football Association after a misunderstanding over Kyle Lafferty's disciplinary hearing.
The controversy-ridden former Rangers striker found himself in hot water after a video went viral of the Northern Irishman apparently using sectarian language towards a Celtic fan, resulting in an internal investigation by Kilmarnock and a potential 10-game ban by the SFA, which would not ideal for Killie, who sit just two points ahead of Ross County at the foot of the Premiership table.
McInnes had Lafferty on the bench last week in the 4-1 loss at Aberdeen, before starting the striker in midweek in the 2-1 win over St Johnstone - much to the dismay of the league. But McInnes has defended himself for his decision to include Lafferty, with the SFA failing to communicate well with them on the issue - claiming that he was only 'playing by the rules' with the ban not enforced just yet as a hearing is still yet to take place.
