Following last Friday’s win over Derry City, the Bit o’ Red will hope to continue a good start to the new season.

Lee Lynch has recovered from illness which ruled him out of the match in The Brandywell.

Aaron Greene is out with an ankle injury. Danny North is also absent because of injury.

Rovers boss Ian Baraclough said: “We’re going to go and try to win the game. We will use the squad as well because we have some players who need games and are looking for a chance to get into the team.

“We hold a very big advantage and need to finish the job and I’ll be looking for the right performance and result to do that.

“Lee should be in contention after a vomiting bug ruled him out of Friday’s game. It was unfortunate and we couldn’t take a risk on him or on it spreading in the camp.

We trained on Sunday so we will check over the squad and go out and try to win the match.”
