Kilmarnock are facing a disciplinary hearing this week after fielding a suspended player against East Kilbride.
Daniel Armstrong carried over a one-match ban from his time at Raith Rovers and now the club have landed themselves in hot water for fielding him.
A club statement read: "The club can confirm we face a disciplinary hearing after being charged with breaching SPFL rules and regulations.
"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.
"Daniel entered the field in the 72nd minute of the game, which we won 2-0.
"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 with the SPFL has been scheduled for Thursday, July 15 where the club will make representation.
"Until then, we will make no further comment."
