Kilmarnock charged with fielding ineligible player
Danny Armstong should have been serving a one-match ban when he was substituted on against East Kilbride
Kilmarnock have been charged by the SPFL for fielding an ineligible player in their Premier Sports Cup tie against East Kilbride on Saturday.
Daniel Armstrong was substituted on in the 72nd-minute of the game - but was carrying a one-match suspension from his time at Raith Rovers last season.
In a statement on their club website, Kilmarnock said: "Daniel Armstrong was included in the squad for Saturday’s Premier Sports Cup Group G game against East Kilbride at K-Park Training Academy while the player was subject to a one-match Scottish FA suspension in the competition, carried over from last season with Raith Rovers.
"The club would like to apologise to our supporters, East Kilbride and to the footballing authorities for this inadvertent breach of the rules".
A hearing is set to take place on Thursday July 15 where the club will make representation.
