Thoe points were immediately deducted forcing Derby to the bottom the table with -2 points, nine apoints adift of Posh who move up a place to 21st as a result.
Derby also face a further nine-point deduction because of accounting irregularities.
Reading could also lose nine points because of financial discrepencies. That would reduce them to one point and move Posh a further place up the table.
