Scott Brown hoping to make Accrington debut against Bristol Rovers

Accrington's new signing Scott Brown will be hoping to make his debut against Bristol Rovers in Sky Bet League Two on Saturday.

The 30-year-old signed a deal until the end of the season after his contract with Grimsby was terminated by mutual consent.

Stanley boss John Coleman has no fresh injury worries ahead of the game but Adam Morgan will no longer be available after leaving the club on Thursday.

Dean Winnard remains a long-term absentee for the Lancashire side after undergoing surgery last week.

Veteran striker Rory Fallon goes straight into the Rovers squad after joining the club on non-contract terms.

Fallon has been brought in to bolster the Pirates' strikeforce with Wales Under-21 international Ellis Harrison currently on loan at Hartlepool.

The New Zealand international, now 33, is expected to be on the bench at Accrington with Matty Taylor and Rory Gaffney set to continue their blossoming partnership.

Billy Bodin could be utilised out wide after coming off the bench to score in last week's 1-1 draw with Plymouth, while Liam Lawrence could be involved if he has shaken off a calf problem.
