” I’ve not been able to sleep since yesterday due to what happened and I apologise to my teammates and the supporters and also to Songne Yacouba and the entire Kotoko team as well as my fans in Ghana who were willing to support me during return fixture in Ghana.
The red card means Ocran will missed their trip to Ghana to face Asante Kotoko in match-four of the CAF Confederation Cup group stages scheduled for Sunday March 3, 2019 at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium in Kumasi.
