Jordan Jones has returned to Kilmarnock on-loan just five days after he was recalled by parent club Wigan Athletic.
The Latics had made a late Deadline Day move to bring the 28-year-old back to the DW Stadium early after Shaun Maloney replaced Kolo Toure as manager. And that looked to have been confirmed on Monday, with Kilmarnock announcing Jones had left Rugby Park.
But now an administration error made down south has resulted in the Northern Ireland international coming back to Ayrshire for the rest of the season, after the SFA and FA allowed a dramatic U-turn. A statement read: "Kilmarnock Football Club can confirm that Jordan Jones will return on loan for the remainder of the season.
"After consultation with Wigan, the Scottish FA and English FA, Jordan has been granted permission to rejoin the club until the Summer, following an administration error which occurred down South during an attempt to recall the winger from his loan spell.
"Jordan will now regroup with Derek McInnes’ side and is in contention to be selected for this weekend’s Scottish Cup Fifth Round tie against Dundee United."
