Preston's Neil Kilkenny off hook as red card is rescinded
PRESTON’S Neil Kilkenny has had his red card at Port Vale rescinded – but Joe Garner has been banned for three games instead.
Kilkenny was sent off by mistake following an altercation between Garner and Anthony Griffith. Garner went on to score both goals in Tuesday’s 2-0 win.
But he has been retrospectively punished and will begin a three-match ban against Bristol City on Saturday.
Preston boss Simon Grayson said: “We are hugely disappointed the panel were not willing to clear Joe.”
