Former Rangers striker Kyle Lafferty is at the centre of controversy after a peculiar incident.
This occurred during Forth Wanderers' South Region Challenge Cup defeat to EKYM. The Northern Irishman, who joined the West of Scotland League side this summer, was involved in a 2-1 loss in the second-round tie.

A video circulating on social media has appeared to show Lafferty colliding with referee Lewis Littlejohn during the final moments of the match.
In the footage, the former Rangers frontman is seen approaching from behind, making contact with the official, and sending him to the ground. Littlejohn quickly got back to his feet and continued with the game, while Lafferty seemingly raised his hands after the collision.

The 37-year-old, who made more than 150 appearances for Rangers across two stints, played the full 90 minutes as Forth Wanderers exited the competition. He joined the club from Johnstone Burgh following investment led by businessman and GUN drummer Paul McManus.
The incident has caught the attention of social media users, and it is yet to be seen whether the incident attracts the attention of the Scottish FA's Compliance Officer.
