Crainey hopeful of overturning ban

Leeds defender Stephen Crainey remains optimistic his suspension will be overturned in order for him to play in the Championship play-off final.

The left-back was sent off for two bookable offences as second-half goals from Rob Hulse and Frazer Richardson beat Preston 2-0 in a stormy semi-final second leg at Deepdale to win the tie 3-1 on aggregate.
