Sunderland have confirmed Darron Gibson will be disciplined for his drunken rant over the weekend - but managed to spell his name wrong in their media release!

The former Manchester United and Everton midfielder's first name is spelt with an O before the N, but bumbling club staff misspelt it wrong on THREE occasions, including the heading, when confirming their investigation, reports The Sun.

The statement read: “Darren Gibson has not conducted himself in a manner befitting Sunderland Football Club.

“As a consequence, we will initiate our internal disciplinary process to deal with the matter.

“Darron has apologised this morning."

Sunderland were thumped 5-0 at home to Celtic in a pre-season friendly on Saturday.

And that was followed by the embarrassing footage that emerged of Gibson from later that evening.
