Mackay: No excuse for my texts

Malky Mackay has apologised for the discriminatory text messages he sent during his time as manager of Cardiff.

Mackay has come in for a wave of criticism after sharing what were reported to be racist, sexist and homophobic texts with former Cardiff head of recruitment Iain Moody, with the Football Association investigating a dossier submitted by the Bluebirds.

The 42-year-old Scot told Sky Sports News HQ: “Out of 10,000 text messages in and out of someone’s phone I sent three and that being the case, looking at them they are completely unacceptable, inappropriate and for that and for any offence I’ve caused I sincerely apologise for that.

“That’s something I did and there is no excuse for that.”
