An "embarrassed" Kyle Lafferty has expressed his regret after receiving a 10-match ban for using sectarian language.

The Kilmarnock striker received the mandatory minimum punishment after being charged by the Scottish Football Association for breaching a rule which forbids the use of insulting language which includes reference to the likes of ethnic origin, race, nationality, religion or belief.
