Southampton have lost their appeal against the EFL‚ with Middlesbrough now officially confirmed as Hull City's opponents in Sunday's Championship play-off final.

In a bid to overturn the decision‚ Southampton turned to leading barrister Lord Pannick KC‚ who is also representing Manchester City in their ongoing legal battle with the Premier League over the club's 115 financial charges.

Middlesbrough have publicly stated they want Southampton to be 'prevented from participating in the EFL Championship play-off final' over the 'Spygate' scandal.

As revealed by Daily Mail Sport last Thursday‚ a Southampton first-team analyst was caught allegedly filming Middlesbrough's training from behind a tree ahead of Saturday's play-off semi-final first leg‚ which ended goalless.

Daily Mail Sport revealed last Thursday that the analyst was caught allegedly filming Middlesbrough's training from behind a tree ahead of Saturday's play-off semi-final first leg‚ which ended goalless. Last Friday night‚ the EFL charged the south coast club with a breach of their rules. Saints won Tuesday's return leg 2-1 to set up a Wembley date versus Hull City‚ but that is now in doubt.

EXCLUSIVE BY CRAIG HOPE: Middlesbrough have caught what is thought to be a Southampton first-team analyst allegedly recording their training session from a bush‚ in a sensational repeat of the Marcelo Bielsa 'spygate' furore. Daily Mail Sport can reveal that an individual was spotted and approached by club staff on Thursday morning at Boro's Rockliffe Park training centre‚ 48 hours before Kim Hellberg's side host Tonda Eckert's Saints in the Championship play-off semi-final first leg. It is claimed the male deleted video and pictures from his mobile phone and refused to identify himself. He then left the site of the training ground and made his way into the nearby Rockliffe Hall Hotel‚ owned by Boro chairman Steve Gibson‚ before changing clothes in a toilet and leaving the area. It is understood Boro have contacted the EFL‚ given spying on opposition training would breach the League's rules.
