Kyle Lafferty has opened up on the 10-game ban he served for use of sectarian language while on duty for Northern Ireland last year.
Lafferty only returned to action for Kilmarnock last month following the hefty suspension, but was a surprise departure from Rugby Park on deadline day after showdown talks with the Scottish club's board.
The 35-year-old says he is "disappointed" he didn't get to work more with Killie boss Derek McInnes, who he holds on a par with Rangers' legendary former manager Walter Smith.
