Davies worry for Bolton

Craig Davies faces a late fitness test before Bolton host Blackburn.

The striker has missed Wanderers' last two games with a hamstring injury, which continues to trouble him.

Neil Lennon's attacking options are limited, with loanee Joe Mason (hamstring) and Max Clayton (knee) both long-term absentees, so 36-year-old Eidur Gudjohnsen may start a second game in attack.

Midfielder Mark Davies (knee) and defender Marc Tierney (ankle) remain missing for a side unbeaten in seven.

Blackburn's on-loan defender Alex Baptiste will be unable to face his parent club.

The full-back is on a season-long loan deal from Wanderers but does not have permission to feature in the two games against them.

Midfielder Jason Lowe, who could have possibly filled in for Baptiste, is a major doubt after suffering a recurrence of his foot injury in just his second game back.

Tom Cairney (ankle) and Chris Brown (knee) have had another few days to overcome their minor issues, but Tommy Spurr (groin) is a little further away.
