JOSH MAGENNIS HAS been hit with a two-match ban from the Scottish Football Assocation (SFA) for head-butting Kilmarnock team-mate Jamie Hamill.
The pair went head-to-head after Magennis conceded a free-kick during Kilmarnock’s 4-1 victory over Partick Thistle on Saturday, a match which ensured that Killie would avoid the Scottish Premiership relegation play-off spot.
The SFA has taken a dim view of the incident and has subsequently decided to sanction Magennis. The 24-year-old from Down, who’s been capped 11 times by Northern Ireland, has until Wednesday to accept his punishment or to appeal the suspension.
However, Kilmarnock manager Gary Locke played down the incident: “I thought they were trying to give each other a kiss to be honest. It showed that the two of them were desperate to win.
“As long as it doesn’t step over the mark then I don’t need to step in. And I thought they both produced fantastic performances. We should be talking about that.”

I feel Frank could have went 4 at the back brought Deli on for the 2nd half against Watford, that game was there for the taking. To be fair Frank and the fans has galvanised team spirit, hope we get the win against Brentford.
