Following on from the draw at Ninian Park at the weekend Rangers don’t have many injury worries to speak of. The usual suspects of Rowlands, Rose and Doherty are all sidelined for the foreseeable future and Gallen serves the second match of his three match ban. Evatt took a bang on the noggin on Saturday but will be fit to play.

Youngster Andrew Howell has been added to the squad after some impressive displays at youth and reserve team level this season. It remains to be seen whether the seventeen year old will do enough to make the bench or whether this is just to add to his experience. The starting XI isn’t likely to show any changes despite the fact that many fans would plump for a more attacking feel to the side in games at home.

As for Stoke, things are not quite so rosy. Johan Boskamp has a few selection headaches ahead of the game and probably isn’t helped by his continual bickering with any member of his staff that dare oppose him!

Top scorer Paul Gallagher was forced off in their goalless draw at Elland Road with a back injury and may not make this one. Their recent loan signing from Wigan, Aussie Josip Skoko missed that game with a groin injury and he is unlikely to make this one.

Sammy Bangoura was also taken off injured at Leeds and with Clint Hill picking up a knock in training things could be very different for The Potters. Boskamp will delay naming his side until as late as possible to give all four players the best chance of making it. On the plus side, Potteries pin up Luke Chadwick is likely to be back to gurn his way through this one. With so much focus on diving at the moment it will be interesting to see whether he is still happy to hurl himself to the deck at the slightest provocation.
