Rigters set for Rovers exit

Blackburn Rovers are willing to let Maceo Rigters leave Ewood Park after just one season at the club.
The 24-year-old forward made just seven appearances during his debut season in the Premier League and will be allowed to leave by manager Mark Hughes.
Rovers paid £350,000 to land the former Netherlands Under-21 international hot-shot from NAC Breda last summer.
"We are willing to listen to offers for Maceo," confirmed a club source.
"His agent has told us Maceo wants to be playing regular first-team football and, because we can't guarantee him that, we would consider letting him move on."
Meanwhile, Rovers have reportedly distanced themselves from rumours of summer moves for Hossam Ghaly and Albert Riera.
Egypt midfielder Ghaly claimed the Lancashire club were keen to end his unhappy spell at Spurs.
Spanish winger Riera has been linked with a £6million move to a host of Premier League clubs from Espanyol.
