KYLE LAFFERTY has been slapped with ten-game ban by the Scottish FA.
The striker will miss months of action for Kilmarnock now after being punished by Scottish football's governing body over the use of a sectarian slur.
A statement from Lafferty reads: "I want to deeply apologise to the club, supporters and my family for the distress caused over the past month. I totally acknowledge that my reaction to the incident was completely out of order.
