Northern Ireland boss Ian Baraclough insists he hasn’t turned his back on Kyle Lafferty after Hungarian reporters aired their surprise that the in-form Kilmarnock striker isn’t currently part of his plans.
Lafferty bagged two crucial goals against Hungary in Euro 2016 qualifying en route to France, scoring the winner in a 2-1 victory in Budapest and a vital equaliser in a 1-1 draw in Belfast.
And that prompted one Hungarian reporter to ask why the 34-year-old, who scored a brace for Killie at the weekend, isn’t in the national set-up.
