The Northern Irish and Kilmarnock’s player Kyle Lafferty apologises for using sectarian language, where he was recorded in a night club saying ‘pack of fenian bastards.’ The Kilmarnock player will now miss ten games and won’t be back till January. A massive blow for the Scottish Premiership side.

"I totally acknowledge that my reaction to the incident was completely out of order. There is no excuse, it's something that I immediately regretted and have been embarrassed about ever since."

You have to ban a player for that, just can’t use that type of language and especially when a lot of young people look up to you. Hopefully he will or has learned his lesson and it won’t happen again and fair play to the Northern Irish international for coming out straight away and apologising. It’s always on a knife edge up the North of Ireland and indeed in Scotland.
