Kyle Lafferty Kilmarnock exit explained as Derek McInnes reveals he didn't want striker to leave

Derek McInnes says it was a board decision that sealed Kyle Lafferty's Kilmarnock exit.

The Rugby Park club are in Premiership action against Dundee United this evening but have been left short in the striker departure after the former Rangers striker was announced to have left by mutual consent, alongside the announcement of Oli Shaw's Barnsley move. Killie's statement was brief and offered no insight into why and their manager has been unable to provide a definitive reason either.

Earlier this season, Lafferty was banned for use of sectarian language on international duty with Northern Ireland.
