Northern Irish striker Kyle Lafferty banned for ten games over sectarian comment

Northern Irish striker Kyle Lafferty has been hit with a ten game ban for making a sectarian comment.

The 35-year-old apologised for his comments, claimed that he regrets what he said and also revealed that he is "embarrassed" by his behaviour.
