Stranraer have missed out on a major pay day against Rangers after being expelled from the Scottish Cup for fielding an ineligible player in last week's victory over Queen's Park. The League 2 club have estimated they will lose out on 200,000 that would "keep the club running for three or four years". Stranraer have revealed the findings of a Scottish FA tribunal on their club website.

Grimsby have been fined by the EFL for fielding an ineligible player in their shock Carabao Cup victory over Manchester United last week. The Mariners beat United 12-11 in a penalty shootout, having led 2-0 in normal time before being pegged back. The EFL said the breach related to Clarke Oduor, who came on as a 73rd-minute substitute. The player's registration was submitted at 12.01pm on the day before the match, shortly after the 12pm deadline required in accordance with this season's competition rules.
