BBC Sport:
Derby County have been deducted a further nine points after admitting breaches of English Football League accounting rules.
The Championship club, docked 12 points for entering administration in September, have agreed to the dismissal of their appeal against that decision.
The latest penalty leaves Wayne Rooney's side on -3 points - 18 points from safety at the foot of the table.
It means the Rams are almost certain to be relegated to League One.
