Kyle Lafferty admits sectarian comment as Kilmarnock issue 'substantial fine' and engage Nil By Mouth

Kilmarnock striker Kyle Lafferty has admitted he used a sectarian slur in a video widely shared on social media last week and has been hit with a 'substantial' fine by the club.

The 35-year-old has also been charged by the SFA and faces further action from the governing body, with a hearing taking place on October 20.

The Northern Irishman was on international duty when the incident occurred and was subsequently sent home from the national team camp meaning he played no part in his country’s Nations League fixtures.
