Derby County's former owner Mel Morris and Boro's chairman Steve Gibson FINALLY reach an agreement over the legal claim that threatened to kill the Rams... after security is tightened ahead of the clubs' Championship fixture

Derby have announced they have reached an accord between their former owner Mel Morris and Middlesbrough chairman Steve Gibson in relation to the Teesside club's legal claim against the Rams.

Derby were placed into administration last September and the sale of the club to new ownership has been complicated in part by the claims of Middlesbrough and Wycombe.

The club said details of the accord between Morris and Gibson had been shared with administrators Quantuma ahead of the sides' meeting in the Sky Bet Championship on Saturday.

News of the accord follows the release of a lengthy statement by Morris issued last Friday which included an invitation to Boro and Wycombe to take up their claims against him personally at the High Court.
