Kyle Lafferty banned for 10 games over use of sectarian language

Kilmarnock striker Kyle Lafferty has voiced his regret after being hit with a 10-game ban for using sectarian language.

The suspension will keep the Northern Ireland international out of action until his club's Premier Sports Cup semi-final against Celtic on January 14/15.

It is the mandatory minimum punishment after being charged by the Scottish Football Association for breaching a rule which forbids the use of insulting language which includes reference to the likes of ethnic origin, race, nationality, religion or belief.
