The former Celtic player caused a stir when a photo of him wearing a T-shirt appearing to support the IRA was posted on social media last weekend. Heron was photographed with former Larne team-mate Ronan Hale at the West Belfast Feile wearing the shirt, drawing heavy criticism. Much of the anger came from the Inver Park support and Larne moved quickly to send off their player on Monday. On Friday, the Irish FA published a Notice of Complaint on its website meaning Heron can accept the proposed 10-match ban or choose to appeal. Sunday Life Sport understands Heron has returned to his native Scotland to consider his position. Larne have also been fined £500 under Article 17 and all indications are that Herron will not play for the East Antrim club again. The former Glentoran midfielder must consider his next step, whether to challenge the IFA sanction and whether he can remain in the local game. Sunday Life Sport understands a number of Danske Bank Premiership clubs are monitoring the situation, but it remains to be seen whether Herron will play in the Irish League again.
