Macclesfield have been relegated from Sky Bet League Two after an independent arbitration panel decision led to a six-point deduction, the English Football League has announced.

In June an independent disciplinary commission handed the Silkmen a two-point penalty and a £20,000 fine after the club were charged with misconduct related to the payment of player wages in March 2020.

The EFL subsequently appealed, opening up the possibility of a further points deduction that would leave Macclesfield bottom of League Two and thus relegate them, with Stevenage staying up in their place.
