QPR celebrating

QPR manager Neil Warnock is mobbed after his side's win at Watford

 

Firms pay out on QPR despite investigation

HILLS, Bet365 and Skybet have decided to pay out on QPR winning the Championship even though Neil Warnock’s side may face a points deduction this week.

Rangers took an unassailable lead at the top of the second tier with a 2-0 victory at Watford yesterday but face an FA investigation this week into a possible breach of the Football League’s ruled over the third-party ownership of players.

The player at the centre of the controversy is Alejandro Faurlin and the FA is set to hear QPR’s case on Tuesday with a verdict set to be delivered on Friday.

Boylesports and Blue Square will decide on Friday what action to take but Hills have seen enough.

Goals from Adel Taarabt and Tommy Smith were enough to give them victory at Vicarage Road.

Two teams who will definitely not be playing in the Championship next year are Scunthorpe and Sheffield United, who were relegated after Crystal Palace secured a 1-1 draw at Hull.

Plymouth were relegated to League Two and Bristol Rovers are certain to join them as they have a huge goal-difference deficit to make up.

In Scotland, Dunfermline return to the SPL after a 2-0 victory at Morton clinched the First Division title.
